White Truffle Enhanced Extra Virgin Olive Oil

White truffles are a cross between a mushroom and a potato and can be enjoyed thinly sliced on Italian staples like pastas and risottos. Harvesting is a time-honoured art, practiced by handlers called Trifulao with specially trained dogs who sniff out the forest gems.

And at R25 000 for one kilogram, they can certainly be described as a delicacy! To produce the white truffle oil, Morgenster imports white truffle concentrate from Piedmont and blends it with their extra virgin olive oil - a truly classic match!

White truffle enhanced extra virgin olive oil is but one of the many olive products produced at Morgenster Olive Estate in the Cape Winelands. Why not browse through or online wine and olive shop to find out more.
