Cooks & Co began back in 2003, as a team of specialist food importers with over 65 years experience. They are constantly searching for interesting new foods, and with what they already have to offer, there's no doubt they care about their food. The essence of Cooks & Co is to offer food lovers interesting, inspired and authentic ingredients from all over the world. They are proud of the unique ingredients that they offer, sourced from reliable, committed and innovative suppliers. Cooks & Co Black Truffle Infused Oil offers a fabulously easy way to add the much prized, earthy aroma of truffles to meat and casserole dishes. The Black Truffle Oil is a little more pungent than the Cooks & Co White Truffle Oil and is better suited to meats and heavy sauces. This oil is great seasoning to add a more sophisticated taste and livens up French fries, Pasta dishes, Mashed potatoes or Deviled eggs. As esteemed 19c gastronome Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin noted: "The most learned men have sought to ascertain the secret, and fancied they discovered the seed. Their promises, however, were vain, and no planting was ever followed by a harvest. This perhaps is all right, for as one of the great values of truffles is their dearness, perhaps they would be less highly esteemed if they were cheaper." The black truffle or black Périgord truffle (Tuber melanosporum), is named after the Périgord region in France and grows with oak and hazelnut trees. Black truffles are harvested in late autumn and winter and are used to refine the taste of meat, fish, soups and risotto.
