💡 Chef tips
- Start with just half a tablespoon of truffle oil and add more to taste, as truffle oil can quickly become overpowering.
- Store the truffle mayo in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- For an extra layer of luxury, you can fold in a half teaspoon of finely minced black truffle carpaccio.
✅ How it should turn out
The finished truffle mayo should be thick, smooth, and glossy with an intensely savory aroma of earthy truffles and a bright, balanced finish.
