daRosario Review (Part 2)

I'll shout it from the rooftops:
I LOVE DAROSARIO!

I've already gone on and on about why they're THE BEST (and the only REAL) truffle products. Check out this post for part 1 of my review, about daRosario's white truffle oil, and for more info about what makes daRosario stand head and shoulders above the rest!

NOW, let's talk about these 3 new daRosario products I was able to try:
Organic White Truffle Butter
Organic White Truffle Butter
Truffle. Butter. I mean...need I say more??! AND what is truly amazing is that daRosario only uses 3 ingredients to make this butter: Organic Valley butter, real organic Italian white truffle pieces and real organic white extra virgin olive oil concentrated flavoring! It tastes ahhhmazing--I am a big fan of putting some of this deliciousness on a baked potato and then sprinkling some Romano cheese on top. MMM!!!
Organic White Truffle Acacia Honey
Organic White Truffle Acacia Honey
I had never even considered truffle and honey going together but it is a PHENOMENAL combination (as already evidenced in that pizza recipe I shared with you). This is the first ever truffle honey to hit the US market and, as always, made from great, real, organic ingredients (real organic white truffle pieces, organic Acacia honey and organic white truffle extra virgin olive oil concentrate). It's great on pizza (obv.), drizzled on crostini or bruschetta, in pastas, with cheese, even brushed or drizzled on meats!
100% Organic Black Truffle Oil
Well, I've already tried the white truffle oil, so I had to try the black! In general, I prefer black truffle salt so I assumed I'd prefer the black truffle oil BUT, twist, I actually like the white better! The black truffle oil is still incredible and delicious, but I actually found the flavor to be more subtle and tasted more like olive oil than the white does. The perk of this is it makes the black truffle oil even MORE versatile, and, in case you didn't figure it out, it's all real and natural and organic. Yay!

So...why haven't you tried daRosario yet?

Cookie Dough:

I gave my brother, Josh, some frozen cookie dough balls from this recipe.
These two methods are particularly good ideas for giving cookie dough (I used the 1st one).
Make sure to include baking instructions with the dough, and keep them in the freezer!

Cookies:
Homemade Holiday Gift Ideas-Part 2
Giving cookies for Christmas is a classic! I used empty, clean, pringles cans to package the cookies I was gifting this year, and then I wrapped them in wrapping paper! So fun and easy. Just make sure that your cookies aren't too big to fit! Here are some great ideas for cookie recipes to gift this holiday season:

This is still one of my favorites. Homemade vanilla extract is SO simple, and makes such an adorable gift! That little beauty up there was one of my gifts to my future MIL. :)
