Often referred to as the black diamond of the kitchen, black truffles’ French origin means they’re also sometimes referred to as Périgord truffles. They are frequently used in dishes as a light, simple topping or garnish due to their strong flavor.
 
When it comes to black truffle oil, the black truffle’s flavor definitely maintains that strength. Distinguishing itself from its cousin white truffle oil, black truffle oil has a deep and robust umami flavor.
