Urbani Black Truffle Olive Oil — Six Generations of Truffle Expertise Since 1852 | 8.45oz

Urbani Black Truffle Oil — premium extra virgin olive oil infused with the deep, earthy essence of black truffle. Richer and more robust than white truffle oil, black truffle holds up beautifully to heartier dishes — grilled meats, mushroom risotto, roasted vegetables, and pizza. A finishing ingredient from Urbani Truffles, the world's most trusted truffle house since 1852. Six generations of the Urbani family dedicated entirely to truffle.

Black truffle (Tuber melanosporum) grows underground in the forests of France, Italy, and Spain, in a symbiotic relationship with the roots of oak trees. It cannot be farmed; it must be found. Urbani has been hunting, selecting, and working with truffles for six generations — the world's largest and most respected truffle operation, supplying the great restaurants of Europe and America. Their black truffle oil takes the intense, earthy, woody character of real black truffle and brings it to an extra virgin olive oil base you can keep in your pantry and use all year.

White truffle vs black truffle oil — when to use each

White truffle oil is more delicate, garlicky, and intensely aromatic — best for light dishes, pasta, eggs, and risotto where the truffle can be the star. Black truffle oil is more robust and earthy — better paired with bold flavours like red meat, roasted mushrooms, game, and strong cheeses. Use white for elegance; use black for depth.

How to use it

• Steak and grilled meats — drizzle over a rested steak; the robust earthiness pairs naturally with red meat
• Mushroom dishes — risotto, pasta, or sautéed mushrooms; black truffle and porcini are one of the great pairings
• Pizza — drizzle over a finished pizza for a dramatic, earthy finish
• Roasted potatoes or vegetables — toss or drizzle after roasting
• Pasta — toss with pasta, pasta water, and Parmesan
• Eggs — drizzle over scrambled eggs or omelettes

Frequently Asked Questions

• Should I cook with this or use it raw?
  Use it raw, as a finishing oil. The aromatic compounds that give truffle its character are volatile and dissipate with heat. Add after cooking, at the table, in small amounts.
• How much per serving?
  Approximately 1 teaspoon (5ml) per person. Truffle is powerful — restraint produces better results than excess.
• What's the difference from white truffle oil?
  Black truffle (Tuber melanosporum) is more robust and earthy than white truffle (Tuber Magnatum Pico), which is more delicate and garlicky. Use black for hearty dishes, white for light ones.
