Truffle oil ...Truffle Hunter: We like your website! Truffle oil is not something to buy here in Oman. We've never seen it in any shop here. It's difficult enough to find a decent olive oil in Muscat, let alone such a delicate product as truffle oil. We bought ours in Alba. You can see the brand through this link (not the same store as where we bought it): http://www.bienmanger.com/2F2705_Tartufato_Olive_Oil_White_Truffle.html<br />Do you know this producer? We noticed on your website that you are in the process of offering a truffle oil as well. Do you have any more specifics about that?Mr. and Mrs. R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08933286284436351782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8989150096652604969.post-36171822897169715652010-08-23T10:07:55.403+04:002010-08-23T10:07:55.403+04:00Anon: The obvious guess for Tipo00 flour would be ...Anon: The obvious guess for Tipo00 flour would be Al Fair, because that's the only supermarket that stocks something else than Dahabi. But we didn't see any there. We do seem to recall that we've seen it somewhere though.

My wife was slightly amused when i told her i had spent 10 rials on salt!<br />Look forward to reading some more of your reviews. One question - do you know where i can buy 00 flour? It was available here 2 years ago but since then it has disappeared. ThanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
