White truffles are one of the rarest forms of fungi available in selected parts of the world. Generally found in Italy, and only during a certain season, it was said that pigs and dogs were used to sniff them out, because they were found deep under the earth at the base of trees of wilderness, looking like clods of dirt to the untrained eye. Not only are they extremely expensive, they are also incredibly flavorful, and a lot of Italian and French cuisine are drawn from the base of white truffles which add a separate dimension to food like risotto and pasta. White truffles work exceptionally well in soups, as a flavoring base, and the unique woodsy aroma brings out the best of Italy in your plate, no matter which part of the world you are in.

So, while selecting the best quality white truffle olive oil, you should remember a few details which would help you get the best in the business.

1. Always go for the brand which has infused the truffle in extra-virgin olive oil. The reason is simple: extra virgin olive oil, being more delicately flavored, can soak up a more consistent amount of flavor than regular.

2. Check out different brands before settling. Be hesitant to go for brands which have too many artificial agents/flavoring agents in the ingredients list. Go for the brand that supplies mostly organic products.

3. Check the color of the oil. The oil should be transparent, not translucent or opaque. There should not be a muddy, dank smell. So be careful, and if possible smell the oil to check if it has gone rancid or not.

Generally, white truffle olive oil has a lighter, more fluid flavor than dark truffle. Their essence is infused gently into the olive oil, which has remarkable capability of soaking in flavors. This is what makes it an exceptional combination brushed on different kinds of cheese, or in a salad, or applied on meat. Remember, you do not cook with this, because this should be used as a flavoring agent, not a cooking mode. So be sparing about it, and use it at the very end, to infuse the flavors of the mushrooms to the food. One of the best ways of using it is in a salad dressing or as the end note for a soup, especially one made with morel or other wild mushrooms.

You can find good quality white truffle olive oil in different specialty and gourmet food stores, and they are available online as well. If you are still unsure about them, try a small package for tasting, before going the whole way and buying in bulk
