Olive oil from Molise, truffle aroma, openly declared.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhite truffle oil\u003c\/strong\u003e from the Vitelium range is a flavored oil made from extra virgin olive oil, whose truffle note comes from a declared white truffle aroma. No preserved fresh truffle, no frying oil, no oil for large quantities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVitelium calls \u003cstrong\u003eWhite truffle oil\u003c\/strong\u003e a flavored oil made from extra virgin olive oil, refined with a white truffle aroma. In addition, there is a small proportion of Bianchetto truffle, 0.5 percent according to the ingredients list. Many buyers assume that behind every truffle oil is a bottle full of truffle pieces. Here, the aroma provides the scent, and Vitelium states that clearly on the label. Those who know this use the oil correctly: as a seasoning in drops, not as a substitute for a freshly shaved tuber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFirst the truffle scent, then the green olive oil\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVitelium White truffle oil opens with a powerful truffle scent that is reminiscent of forest floor, ripe cheese, and a hint of garlic. This spicy, slightly sulfurous note is typical of the white truffle profile. It takes center stage and lingers on the palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe foundation is an oil made from early-harvested olives from the family's own groves. It is green, fresh, and brings a subtle bitterness that carries the truffle without overpowering it. This makes the flavored oil robust but not perfumed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone who expects only a faint hint from a truffle oil will find this too intense. Those who generally avoid aromas in food are also not well advised to use a truffle oil of this kind. For anyone looking for sliced truffles, it is also unsuitable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThree drops on hot purée are enough\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTruffle oil belongs on the finished plate, never in the hot pan. The manufacturer recommends it for purée, pasta, and risotto, as well as for meat and fish. Heat causes the volatile aromatic compounds to evaporate quickly, which is why the oil is added only after plating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a potato purée for four people, half a teaspoon is enough, stirred in just before serving. For tagliatelle with butter and Parmesan, three to four drops per plate are sufficient. Soft-cooked scrambled eggs get the character of a Sunday breakfast with two drops. A celery cream soup or beef carpaccio with arugula can also handle a few drops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe oil works less well in dishes with a lot of lemon, vinegar, or chili, because acidity and spiciness mask the truffle. For a complete truffle evening, the oil can be combined well with the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/vitelium-weisse-trueffelcreme-50g\"\u003ewhite truffle cream with Caciocavallo\u003c\/a\u003e, for example, cream in the pasta, oil on top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGood to know:\u003c\/strong\u003e Truffle scent binds to fat. Stir one teaspoon of oil into 50 g of soft butter, salt lightly, and chill the butter. A slice of it melts on a steak or on baked potatoes and distributes the truffle more evenly than drops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy this truffle oil uses an aroma\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFresh white truffle, botanically Tuber magnatum Pico, retains its scent for only a few days. When preserved in oil, it loses it just as quickly. A truffle oil that is supposed to taste the same for months therefore needs a stable aroma as a carrier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bianchetto, Tuber borchii, is a smaller white truffle that is found in late winter and spring. In Vitelium's oil, it is an addition at 0.5 percent, not the source of the scent. As soon as an olive oil is given an aroma or herbs, it may no longer be sold as extra virgin olive oil. The commercial designation is then flavored oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBehind Vitelium is a couple from between Hamburg and Molise. Plant biologist Davide Petrollino looks after the family's olive groves and production in Provvidenti, a tiny village in the province of Campobasso. Sales in Germany are managed by Constanze Engelbrecht with the Vitelium GmbH, founded in 2018, in Hamburg. The truffles sought are from the house of Angelo, a truffle hunter friend from Molise. The region is one of the important white truffle-finding areas in Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTrial size for truffle novices and guest gifts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis size is suitable for kitchens where truffle is an occasion and not a habit. One milliliter corresponds to approximately 20 drops. At four drops per plate, the small bottle mathematically lasts for several hundred servings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter opening, the aroma fades over time, so a small bottle is consumed as long as it still smells fresh. As a gift for a dinner, it fits into any bag, and together with a packet of good tagliatelle, it becomes a complete gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone who cooks risotto or pasta with truffle more often after the first introduction will find the same oil as \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/vitelium-weisses-trueffeloel-250ml\"\u003eWhite truffle oil in the 250-ml bottle\u003c\/a\u003e. Store the bottle cool, dark, and tightly sealed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAn honestly declared truffle oil on green olive oil from Molise: in the small bottle for trying, learning to dose, and gifting.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Vitelium","offers":[{"title":"100 ml","offer_id":57790662246726,"sku":"045VIT0001","price":13.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4960\/1350\/files\/vitelium-weisses-trueffeloel-100ml.png?v=1793882211","url":"https:\/\/genussland.de\/en\/products\/vitelium-weisses-trueffeloel-100ml","provider":"genussland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
