Certified Vegan finishing oil carrying the aroma of Tuber aestivum, Italy’s classic summer black truffle.
MIAMI, FL — April 26, 2026 — Milan Truffle, a U.S.-based importer of Italian truffles and specialty food products, announced the release of its Summer Black Truffle Extra Virgin Olive Oil, produced and bottled in Italy.
The oil is made using extra virgin olive oil and infused with the aromatic profile of Tuber aestivum — the summer black truffle, prized in Italian cooking for its earthy, hazelnut-forward character. The product is Certified Vegan by Vegan Action.
Summer black truffle has long been a staple of Italian regional cuisine, used in preparations such as fresh pasta, risotto with butter and aged cheeses, eggs, grilled meats, and roasted vegetables. Outside of fresh truffle season, infused oils provide a consistent way to introduce the same aromatic character into year-round cooking.
“Summer black truffle has a quieter, more grounded character than its winter cousin,” said Calogero Lumia, founder of Milan Truffle. “It pairs naturally with the foods of everyday Italian cooking — eggs, pasta, roasted vegetables — and finishes them with the earthiness Italians have built kitchens around for centuries.”
The truffle oil category includes a wide range of production methods and formulations that are not always clearly communicated to consumers. Products produced and bottled in Italy, using extra virgin olive oil as a base, provide a consistent reference point for quality and intended use.
Milan Truffle positions its truffle oils as finishing oils, intended for application after cooking rather than during high-heat preparation.
