This Black Truffle Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the "diamond of the kitchen” as black truffles are precious and exotic – one of the most expensive foods you can buy. But they are so much more. Truffles are fungi like mushrooms, tubers that grow below the surface amongst the roots of particular trees. Mycorrhizal symbiosis between fungus and tree roots enhance the nutrient exchange between each. The Black Truffle picks up the flavor of the earth and the oak roots where they grow. Woody, savory, musky. They are similar in flavor to mushrooms but more intense and sensuous and instantly elevate any dish.

Black Truffle Olive Oil transforms scrambled or poached eggs from basic to exotic and is equally amazing drizzled on top of pasta. Experience this luxurious earthy taste in risotto, poultry stuffing and over fish, roast vegetables or mashed potatoes. Add a few drops to mayonnaise and make a sauce to die for. Do you love grilled cheese sandwiches? Love them more with melted cheese rich with Black Truffle – ecstasy!

Try it over freshly popped corn – no kidding! Some would call it decadent – we call it delicious!

Miracle Micronutrients:

Trace elements are tiny cogs in the working wheels of an efficient immune system. Vitamins are necessary for energy production, immune function, blood clotting and other functions, while minerals play an important role in growth, bone health, fluid balance and several other processes. Small but mighty, these trace vitamins, minerals are only needed in minute amounts to support health and growth, but are often missing from our meals. Getting them from multiple sources ensures that your daily meals are truly health supporting.

Truffles are rich in amino acids and minerals, including phosphorus, copper, manganese, selenium, zinc and Vitamins A, Vitamin Bs, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and Vitamin K and antioxidant compounds. Truffle extract has shown to reduce cholesterol, control blood sugar, protect liver, is anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and anti-cancer.

High Phenolic EVOO used in each Lugozy infused blend is a significant source of micronutrients and polyphenols having antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, cardioprotective, neuroprotective, anticancer, antidiabetic, and antimicrobial properties. It is an excellent source of vitamin E and vitamin K, a good ratio of Omega 6 and Omega 3. Phenolic compounds are also active in promoting healthy gut microbiota by reducing the abundance of pathogenic bacteria, stimulating the growth of beneficial bacteria, and increasing the production of microbial produced short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs).

Lugozy Extra Virgin Olive Oil has a very high phenolic content that accounts for the pungent taste which causes a peppery sensation in the throat and sometimes bitterness to the tongue.
