The New York Times had a piece a couple of years ago "Hocus-Pocus, and a Beaker of Truffles" ( http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/16/dining/16truf.html ) that explained "truffle oil" has no truffle in it. It's olive oil with a chemical that smells superficially similar to real truffles. The best line was from one of the producers, who said their oil uses "something from the truffle that is not the truffle.” I’m so glad to see Lola was talking about real truffles, and not so-called “truffle oil”.
