Italian Black Summer Truffle Slices in Olive Oil

"While it’s true that they’re an elegant addition to all sorts of dishes the whole year round, we find ourselves compelled to appreciate the irony that black summer truffles are especially suited for serving with winter fare. Trader Joe’s Italian Black Summer Truffle Slices in Olive Oil, for example, excel at adding a remarkable depth of umami-forward flavor and alluring, truffle aromas to the kinds of hearty pastas, creamy soups, and roasted proteins that define wintertime comfort food. Exclusively available during the winter season, this tasty take on a classic carpaccio di tartufo has plenty to offer for fans of rich truffle flavor—and all for a fraction of the price you’d pay elsewhere. Our supplier in Italy packs these razor-thin, texturally delicate slices of Black Summer Truffle in pure, relatively mild Olive Oil, rather than EVOO, which helps keep the truffle flavor front and center. They can be added directly from the jar to everything from pizza to pan-seared salmon, omelets to avocado toast, or breaded chicken cutlets to bubbly, béchamel-based lasagnas. They make an excellent gift option for any truffle-fervent foodies on your list, as well as an able accompaniment to a charcuterie board during a romantic dinner date at home. Just be sure to pick up a jar before winter’s end—supplise are limited, and at this price, these Truffle Slices in Olive Oil won’t stay on the shelves for too long!"
