Truffle Oil

The NYC-based condiment artisans at Truffleist present some very nice olive oil, infused with black summer truffles from northern Italy. The oil base itself is a traditional variety from Greece, with a bold, yet nuanced flavor and aroma. The Italian truffles bring rich, earthy, and distinctly truffle notes - and together, they make an awesome blend to drizzle onto popcorn or fries, mac & cheese or risotto, and pretty much anything else we'd put olive oil on (read: everything).

Jimmy Kunz was making homemade truffle butter as a gift for friends and family before they convinced him to take the hobby commercial in 2013. Long story short, the Truffleist team imports truffles from France, Italy, and Spain, and handcrafts their truffle-based products in small batches in Long Island City, Queens. Today, they're sharing the uniquely rich flavor profile of the ground-grown fungus with people all over the world - without the elitism and hefty pricetag that typically accompanies fine truffle products.
