Instructions
1. Hot Steep Method (A)
- Heat oil over low heat until it reaches about 130°F (54°C). Remove from heat and add shaved truffle. Cover and let cool completely. Strain and store in a clean, airtight jar for up to 3 months.
2. Hover Method (B+)
- Punch a small nail through the lid of a mason jar. Pierce a truffle (or piece of a truffle) onto the nail. Pour oil into the jar, then twist the lid with the nailed on truffle onto the jar, ensuring the truffle doesn't touch the oil. Place somewhere cool and dry, letting truffle flavor infuse into oil for a week. Store for up to 6 months.
3. Cold Steep Method (B)
- Place oil in a clean mason jar (or glass jar), then add shaved truffle. Let steep for 1 week, then strain out truffle. Store for up to 1 month.
Notes
- What truffle is best for making truffle oil? Though there are many truffle varieties, you will likely find them in your grocery store labeled as either white or black. I recommend using black or burgundy truffles for this oil, which are the most cost-effective, though you can use white, too! White truffles usually have a stronger flavor, which means you should adjust your measurements accordingly.
- Storage: This should be stored in the refrigerator, but a cool, dark pantry will also work. I do recommend refrigerating if you use steeping methods one or three.
- What can I do with the leftover truffles after infusing? You can shave them on pizza or in pasta for a tasty, truffle-forward dish.
