Oi vey, please kindly adjust your tinfoil headwear.
They might be insoluble in theory. In practice, it's dead simple to infuse oil with truffles - take oil, heat it up, add shaved truffles and let it sit for a bit.
- stouset 10y agoNow leave that bottle on a shelf for a week, and see if the original bears any resemblance. It won't. This isn't controversial, it's basic chemistry. The aromatics in truffles (excluding 2,4-dithiapentane) are water-soluble, not fat-soluble. Applying heat to your truffles-in-olive-oil mixture is not going to change this simple fact.
