In the green hills of Umbria, just outside Citt di Castello, for over seventy years Oleificio Ranieri has been offering its select clientele the goodness of genuine typical products from its native land. This passion for fine olive oils has been handed down through three generations, beginning in 1930 when Domenico Ranieri put all his skill and commitment into the establishing of an olive oil business. At Oleificio Ranieri, continuing its own history and traditions means always offering the very highest quality. The great care and attention given to the product, the passion for every single detail, the ongoing search for fine, select oils characterizes Oleificio Ranieri's entire production, which includes: olive oils, organic oils, "Umbria" PDO extra virgin olive oil, and flavoured olive oils. White Truffle Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil is irrestible: try it with any pasta or rice dish, meat or even a few drops on fried eggs, or on fresh bread. As esteemed 19c gastronome Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin noted: "The most learned men have sought to ascertain the secret, and fancied they discovered the seed. Their promises, however, were vain, and no planting was ever followed by a harvest. This perhaps is all right, for as one of the great values of truffles is their dearness, perhaps they would be less highly esteemed if they were cheaper." The "white truffle" or "trifola d'Alba" (Tuber magnatum) comes mostly from the Langhe and Montferrat areas of the Piedmont region in northern Italy and, most famously, in the countryside around the cities of Alba and Asti.
