- Flavor Profile: The black truffle lends a rich, earthy, and mildly garlicky flavour to the aioli, with a deep, musky aroma. It has a subtle, almost nutty undertone, making the aioli robust and savoury without being overpowering.
- Best Use: Black truffle aioli works well with hearty dishes like burgers, roasted vegetables, steak, or fries, as its flavor holds up to bolder ingredients and even light cooking.
- Flavour Profile: White truffle has a stronger, more pungent aroma with sharp, garlicky and peppery notes, resulting in a more intense and fragrant aioli. The flavour is often described as more luxurious and potent, with a slightly sweet and earthy sharpness.
- Best Use: White truffle aioli is best used in more delicate dishes where its strong, raw aroma can shine, such as drizzling over pasta, using as a dip for fries, or as a topping for grilled seafood or vegetables.
