A SELECTION OF CLASSIC ITALIAN RECIPES

Gourmet Mushrooms & Mushroom Products presents:

Fifteen recipes for Truffle Sauces, Mushroom Sauces, Truffle Oils, and Mushroom Oil

Truffle and Porcini Oil Attributes

bulletAll the ingredients listed should provide for around 4 servings.
bulletFor all recipes, even if not specifically mentioned, appropriate seasoning should be added to taste.
bullet Enhancing Hints: A heavy oil, such as extra virgin olive oil, will hold a flavor better than a light oil. Heating tends to drive off some of the volatile aromatic compounds which give the distinctive flavor.  For maximum flavor, add Flavored Oils near the end of hot dish preparation.  Bottled truffle oil may lose its aroma over time as it is a truffle extract infusion (Truffle oil is created when truffles are soaked in olive oil). Truffle oil may also lose its characteristic aroma quickly in a warm, bright location, so store in the refrigerator.
bulletTruffle oil is an aromatic condiment, not a cooking oil.   Made with a base of extra virgin olive oil, a few drops to a half-teaspoon per serving is enough to season your dish.


May be used for flavoring dishes instead of placing sauce on them. Use ˝ teaspoon to 1 tablespoon per serving.

bulletBlack Truffles (Tuber melanosporum), often called black diamonds, are usually used with hot dishes such as omelet's and sauces due to their pungent and lasting flavor. A few drops on scrambled eggs produces a special breakfast.
bulletWhite Truffles (Tuber aestivum), often called Autumn Truffles, are even more rare than Black Truffles. Their distinctive, subtle flavor uniquely complements pasta, cheese and fish dishes. A fantastic oil & vinegar salad dressing.
bulletPorcini (Boletus edulis), is one of the finest mushrooms and exceptionally delicious. Their nutty, earthy & meaty flavor complements almost any dish or sauce; wonderful for salads.

Absolutely no artificial preservatives, flavoring or coloring are added to any of the above products.
