The Care & Feeding of Truffle Oil

 How do you store white truffle oil and how long will it last?

 This question has never come up before, because no one has ever considered storing it before. You are definitely in a class by yourself.

Truffle oil is usually a very high-quality olive oil that has been infused with the flavor of either white or black truffles. It has an extremely potent, rich, earthy flavor and is used sparingly to give a burst of flavor to savory dishes.

As with any oil, it should be kept in a cool, dark place. It will certainly last, unopened, for six months. Once opened, it should be polished off within about 3 months. Storing it in the refrigerator will extend its shelf life, but it can also cause the oil to become cloudy and partially solidify. If it does, leave it at room temperature until it melts.
