Comments (0) Truffle Oil - 2008
What the hell is truffle oil anyway? It?s a cinch it doesn?t have any truffles in it?in fact, most brands haven?t even been near an actual truffle, but are compounds of olive oil mixed with an aromatic chemical (2,4-dithiapentane) that mimics the odor and flavor of the real thing in a way that makes real truffle lovers nauseous. It also emboldens many restaurants to claim that something is truffled, when nothing could be further from the truth.
