    Coluccio's
    1218 60th Street
    Brooklyn, New York 11219
    Ph: 718-436-6700

    This place is amazing for all italian imports - wholesale prices and great selection of oils, vinigers, pastas, cheeses meats etc. Great prices on truffle oils and other truffle products.

      I would also give SOS Chef in the east village a try. They have everything.

        I have tried quite a few truffle oil, and a lot of them (even the expensive ones with appealing packaging) tasted chemical and not something you would want. One of the best ones that I have tried and have been using is Urbani brand from Italy. It is more expensive than some other brands but the quality is better. It comes in small bottles so you can try first before you commit to a large bottle. I also like their porcini oil.

        They are widely available at most gourmet stores, and I have recently spotted them in D&D in Soho, Citarella, Buon Italia, and also available online.

        I have also tried another black truffle oil from Dean & Deluca that was very nice but it was out of stock for awhile.

          i picked some up last week at gourmet garage. got a bottle for about $10. they had some others that were a little pricier. put in mashed potatoes. yum. they also had truffle butter. i'm sure any upscale market would have it.

              Quite easy to find. Buon Italia as a great rec. Also, fairway, citarella, zabar, gourmet garage, murrays, dean and deluca (probably pricy here).

                Buon Italia inside the Chelsea Market has a good selection of truffle oils and gentler prices than most of the big-name gourmet shops.
