Our Take
How We Taste It
At Gems Café & Bistro, we use black truffle olive oil to elevate many of our signature dishes, from some of our soups to many of our sauces and even meats. We find that the vast majority of commercial truffle oils sold in grocery stores in Edmonton, are overly artificial and one-dimensional. For us this oil offers a balance of earthy depth and aromatic richness. We taste it as smooth and buttery with just the right amount of truffle essence—neither overpowering nor faint—which makes it just right.
About The Product
Evoolution’s Black Truffle Olive Oil begins with premium extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), crafted from the first cold pressing of fresh olives to preserve its antioxidants and natural flavor. With a delicate fruitiness, low acidity (under 0.8%), and a peppery finish, it perfectly complements the rich, earthy essence of black truffle. Smooth and versatile, this oil adds a touch of luxury to dishes like roasted vegetables, creamy risottos, or perfectly cooked steak.
