Have you ever tried black truffles? The rich flavor is parallel to none (and so is the price tag-Dean and Deluca in New York will not part with a kilogram of truffles for less than $1,400!). Tasty and ultra flavorful Black Truffles grow on the roots of truffle oak trees-often less than 30 cm or so below the ground. Truffles grow in random regions and since they cannot be seen specially trained pigs and dogs are used to find the truffles. Black truffles are highly aromatic, pungent and will even change the taste of eggs if you store them next to some.
My Review
I was sent a sample of Devo's Black Truffle Oil to review. Devo explains their Black Truffle Oil as "" late fall, early winter truffle made using the tea method which steeps ripe truffles for extended periods of time in olive oil. This closely guarded, proprietary process yields our heady, complex and black truffle oil. A bit more tame than our White Truffle Oil. Fantastic in cream based soups, risotto and mashed potatoes." Devo's Black Truffle Oil is rich and delicious and adds a wonderful flavor boost to almost anything. Since receiving the truffle oil I have used Devo's Black Truffle Oil over pasta, potatoes and Cous Cous. It is wonderfully fragrant and rich!I have included the recipe my husband concocted while using some of Devo's Black Truffle Oil. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did! I highly recommend the Black Truffle Oil from Devo...it would make the perfect gift for the chef in any family!
Cous Cous with Devo Black Truffle Oil, Sorrell Pesto, and Proscuitto over Arugula
Make cous cous according to directions. Place proscuitto and Devo Black Truffle Oil in pan and cook until proscuitto is slightly crispy. Add oil and proscuitto to cooked cous cous and place over a bed of fresh arugula. serve and enjoy!
The company did send me a product or service.
This in no way has affected my opinion of the product or service. This review is my opinion and has been written in my own words.
