The essentials
Black Truffle Oil is an anti-waste surprise bag from Pazzini, the Italian deli in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, rescuing a 250ml bottle of Italian black-truffle-infused oil from the bin. What does that mean for you? An earthy, nutty, special-occasion aroma that turns an ordinary plate into a trattoria feast, for a fraction of what fine-dining indulgence usually costs. This bottle was destined to gather dust on a shelf or get forgotten entirely. With us, it lands on your Sunday pasta instead. That's anti-waste, the delicious way: nothing thrown out, 100% pleasure on the plate. There's just one rule here: truffle waits for no one, and neither does our stock. 🍝

A finished Italian deli product, rescued from waste at Pazzini. Truffle oil is a flavoured seasoning and does not carry a PDO/AOP designation, unlike fresh truffle.
Ideas for use
01
5-minute truffle tagliatelle
Cook fresh tagliatelle, drain, then toss off the heat with a knob of butter, a flurry of parmesan and a drizzle of black truffle oil. Three ingredients, guaranteed restaurant effect.
02
The egg that changes everything
A fried egg or creamy scrambled eggs, a pinch of flaky sea salt and a few drops of truffle oil at the last second. Suddenly your Sunday breakfast belongs at a fancy brunch.
03
Risotto and mash, levelled up
Finish a creamy risotto or homemade mashed potatoes with a swirl of truffle oil just before serving. The heat releases the aroma, and your guests will swear you spent hours in the kitchen.
04
Fries and pizza, trattoria-style
Drizzle truffle oil over golden homemade fries or a pizza fresh from the oven. The simple move that turns comfort food into a gourmet treat.
05
Carpaccio, croutons and party toasts
Beef carpaccio, thinly sliced raw mushrooms or plain grilled toast all turn festive with a few drops. Perfect for impressing at drinks without lifting a finger.
Frequently asked questions
What's inside this anti-waste surprise bag?
The bag contains one 250ml bottle of Italian black truffle oil. It's a single, finished, ready-to-use product, so there's no mystery about the contents: just a beautiful bottle of truffle-infused oil rescued from going to waste at Pazzini in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés.
Why is this truffle oil being sold as anti-waste?
At Pazzini, we refuse to bin good food. This black truffle oil is in perfect condition but needs to leave our shelves, whether it's stock rotation, end of a line, or a best-before date drawing closer. Rather than waste it, we're offering it at a gentle price. You bag a bargain and not a single bottle goes in the bin: everybody wins.
How do I store black truffle oil?
Keep the bottle tightly closed, away from light and heat, just like any standard oil. Once opened, use it within a few weeks to enjoy the full aroma: truffle is volatile and its scent fades over time. No need to refrigerate. To preserve all that fragrance, use it raw or right at the very end of cooking.
How do I order and collect my bag?
You order and pay online in a few clicks on Pazzini, then collect your bottle in person at the Saint-Maur-des-Fossés shop with your pickup code. No delivery, no waiting: just simple in-store collection. Since quantities are very limited, reserving online guarantees your bottle.
How long do I have to grab this deal?
There are only a few rescued bottles up for grabs, and once they're gone they may not return for a long while. Our anti-waste bags reset every day and change with each new batch of stock. If the truffle oil still shows as available, now's the moment to reserve it, because it never lasts long.
Is truffle oil actually made with real truffle?
This is a black-truffle-infused oil: a base oil lifted by the intense, woodsy aroma of Italian black truffle. It's exactly what plenty of restaurants use to perfume pasta, risotto and mash without blowing the budget. A few drops go a long way: a single teaspoon transforms an entire dish.
