Michelin-starred kitchen. From Urbani Truffles — six generations dedicated to truffle, the world's most trusted truffle house since 1852. Based in New York, sourcing the finest truffles from Italy. Tuber Magnatum Pico is the white truffle — the rarest and most prized truffle variety, grown underground in a symbiotic relationship with specific trees, primarily oaks. It cannot be farmed or cultivated; it grows only where it chooses, in specific soils and climates, and must be found by trained dogs or pigs. Urbani has been hunting, selecting, and working with these truffles for six generations. Their truffle oil captures that extraordinary fragrance and applies it to extra virgin olive oil — an accessible way to bring the white truffle to your kitchen. How to use it Pasta and gnocchi — drizzle over a finished dish; a teaspoon is enough for one serving Risotto — add just before serving, never during cooking (heat dissipates the aroma) Scrambled eggs — the classic application; a few drops over the finished eggs Mashed potatoes — stir a small amount through just before serving Pizza — drizzle over a finished Margherita or white pizza Popcorn — drizzle and toss with flaky sea salt Bread dipping — alongside Parmesan and cracked pepper Using truffle oil correctly Truffle oil is a finishing ingredient, not a cooking oil. Heat destroys the volatile aromatic compounds that give truffle its character. Always add it at the very end — off the heat, after plating — in small amounts. A teaspoon per person is the standard serving. More is not better. About Urbani Truffles Founded in 1852, Urbani Truffles is the world's premier truffle company — six generations of the Urbani family dedicated entirely to truffle. Based in New York City, Urbani sources the finest truffles from Italy and supplies the world's great restaurants and chefs. Their truffle oils, salts, sauces, and fresh truffles are the benchmark by which all truffle products are judged. Frequently Asked Questions Is this made with real truffle? Yes — infused with Tuber Magnatum Pico (white truffle) essence and white truffle. The ingredient label will show both the truffle aroma and white truffle. Why shouldn't I cook with truffle oil? The aromatic compounds that give truffle its characteristic fragrance are volatile — they dissipate rapidly with heat. Truffle oil should always be used as a raw finishing oil, added after cooking and just before serving. How much should I use per serving? Approximately 1 teaspoon (5ml) per serving. Start conservatively — truffle is powerful and the aroma is meant to enhance, not overpower. What's the difference between white and black truffle oil? White truffle oil (this product) has a more delicate, garlicky, intensely aromatic character — best for light dishes, eggs, pasta, and risotto. Black truffle oil has a more robust, earthy flavor that holds up to heartier dishes like steak and roasted vegetables.
