La Tourangelle's time-honored traditional methods are used to produce these fine gourmet products. The artisan production process they follow today originated in the idyllic French town of Saumur over a century ago. Starting with only the finest hand-selected ingredients, it is this artisan process that yields the elegant natural flavours found in their products.
La Tourangelle Black Truffle Oil begins with expeller-pressed Grapeseed oil, which is slowly infused with back truffle aroma following a 150-year-old French tradition. It was very recently recommended by The Wine Spectator.
Black Truffles originate in Provence, France and are one of the most precious ingredients of Mediterranean cooking. The strong, intense, earthy flavour of this oil will bring a deep aroma to your dishes, and will especially complement pasta, mashed potatoes, meat and other dishes.
The black truffle aroma is infused in grapeseed oil which is a great oil. As one of the richest natural sources of linoleic acid, grapeseed oil can do wonders when it comes to fighting heart disease and bad cholesterol. Linoleic acid is a member of the polyunsaturated fatty acid family. These fatty acids tend to blend with cholesterol in the blood and transform it into something the body knows how to get rid of.
Just like the most prestigious perfumes, the black truffle aroma is very rare, expensive and difficult to source. Only a few companies master the art of producing the aroma. It is nfused in grapeseed oil because of its great properties and its neutral flavour that won’t interfere with the aroma like olive oil may do.
