Flavored Oils: the gourmet seasonings

Tenuta Torciano's extra virgin olive oil owes its quality to the soil where our olive trees grow — a very alkaline soil that, combined with cold extraction performed exclusively by mechanical systems, gives a final product with low acidity and a unique flavor.

Why more people are choosing flavored oils

If you're looking for ways to enrich your pantry with special condiments, here come Tenuta Torciano's flavored oils. More and more people are moving from traditional to flavored oils, because they add value, creativity and versatility to recipes and dishes while using fewer ingredients.

We make our white truffle and hot pepper aromatic oils with a technique called "cold infusion." It takes a long time, but it doesn't alter the properties, flavor or aroma of the extra virgin olive oil — the result is a healthy, tasty condiment even eaten raw. We're happy to share some tips on how to best match flavored oils with your recipes, but the best combinations for each of your dishes are really up to you to discover. To keep the taste unaltered for a long time, store these oils tightly closed in a cool, dry place.

Two oils, two personalities

Chilli oil or truffle oil?

Our pepper oil, made by macerating chilli seeds in extra-virgin olive oil for more than a month, works beautifully with pizza and salads, and just as well in ethnic dishes inspired by other countries' cuisines. Its exceptional aroma and the pungent taste of chilli can lift sauces, rice, pasta, salads, steamed vegetables, béchamel, meat, fish, pizza, carpaccio, or simply a slice of bread.

The aromatic truffle oil, instead, is for a more refined dish — the something extra that only truffles can give. It enriches a simple focaccia and completes a porcini mushroom risotto. This precious condiment is made from a flavorful olive oil and White Truffle aroma: on the plate you can clearly taste the forest and earth notes of the white truffle against the gentler flavor of our olives. It's wonderful with any mushroom dish, pasta or risotto.

Try it drizzled over your favorite potato dish to bring out the flavor of truffles, or on our Truffle Lasagna, often on the menu here at Tenuta Torciano, where this oil brings out the best in the queen of Italian pasta. Want to try it in your own recipes? Join our cooking class, where our chef will teach you how to use it.

Even the simplest dish improves with the right flavored oil, and these oils are great kitchen companions whenever you want to try something new. The final product is 100% Made in Italy, from the olive trees to the finished oil, and its quality also comes from the care taken when pressing the olives, to protect the natural properties of the raw material.
