The truffle oil we make for ourselves. Founder's Reserve uses EVOO exclusively from our family groves in Colletorto – the same rare Gentile Nera olives that have been in our family since 1943, grown on land we know tree by tree. We infuse this single-estate oil with premium Italian white truffle at a higher concentration than our standard truffle oil. The result is our most intense truffle expression: deeper earthiness, more pronounced funk, longer finish.
Why it's called Founder's Reserve: This is the truffle oil our founder bottles for special occasions – when family visits, when the best restaurants order, when someone wants to taste what truffle oil can be at its peak. Limited production per year because we only use oil from our own trees, never blended with other estate's olives.
The difference you'll taste: Compared to our standard truffle oil (which is already excellent), Founder's Reserve has noticeably more truffle intensity – about 8 to 10% higher truffle content. The base oil is single-estate rather than multi-source, so you get a cleaner, more focused flavor profile. It's the difference between a well-made wine and a grand cru from a specific vineyard.
How to use it: This is finishing oil for your best dishes. Save it for occasions when truffle is the star: fresh pasta with nothing but butter, parmesan, and this oil. Scrambled eggs for a special breakfast. Risotto for guests you want to impress. A few drops on prime steak. The 100ml format is deliberately small – it's meant to be savored, not used daily. Expect 20-25 uses from one bottle.
Storage & shelf life: Because of the higher truffle concentration, aromatics are even more volatile than standard truffle oil. Best consumed within 4 months of opening for peak intensity. Store in the coolest, darkest part of your pantry. Keep cap sealed tightly between uses.
