Truffle Oil is what an Oil Maker presses from a single Truffle in about six hours. It is the finished product of a pig farm, and the Artisan profession lifts each bottle to nearly fifteen hundred gold. Despite its gourmet label, the oil earns its keep outside the kitchen: it goes into the Rain Totem, fills a slot in the Artisan Bundle and answers a request from Mayor Lewis. Harvey loves it as a gift. Whether pressing pays depends on the professions chosen, because a raw iridium Truffle is worth more than a bottle of plain oil.
Making
Pigs live in a Deluxe Barn, and Marnie sells them once the barn stands. Each grown pig roams the farm outside the barn and digs Truffles out of the ground. A happy pig at full friendship finds about three Truffles a day on average. Pigs stay indoors on rainy days and all through Winter, so no Truffles appear then.
The Oil Maker is a Farming recipe that unlocks at level 8. Building it takes Slime, Hardwood and a Gold Bar. The machine turns one Truffle into one bottle of Truffle Oil in about six hours. That speed means one or two Oil Makers can keep up with a whole herd of pigs.
The quality of the Truffle makes no difference to the oil. A normal Truffle and an iridium Truffle press into exactly the same bottle.
A few bottles arrive without any pigs at all. Truffle Crabs disguise themselves as Truffles on the farm, and slaying one sometimes drops a bottle. At the Desert Festival, Marnie's stall trades a bottle for Calico Eggs. The Traveling Cart also stocks it now and then.
These are the ingredients one batch needs.

Prices
Truffle Oil has one fixed price, whatever the Truffle's quality. Without the Artisan profession, an iridium Truffle sells for more than the oil it would make.
The Botanist profession makes every Truffle iridium. A farm with Botanist but without Artisan therefore earns more by selling its Truffles raw. With Artisan, the oil gains two fifths and overtakes even an iridium Truffle. A farm with both professions should press every Truffle.
The Gatherer profession gives a chance to pick up two Truffles at once. Those extra Truffles feed the Oil Maker just as well as the first.

Uses
Crafting a Rain Totem takes one Truffle Oil, five Pine Tar and a piece of Hardwood. The recipe arrives at Foraging level 9, and each Totem is used up when activated.
Truffle Oil is one of the choices for the Artisan Bundle in the Pantry. Finishing that bundle rewards a Keg.
In the second Summer, Mayor Lewis sends a letter asking for one Truffle Oil in the quest "Mayor's Need". The letter arrives whether or not the farm keeps pigs. A bottle bought at the Desert Festival or the Traveling Cart can cover it. Delivering it pays a good sum of gold and a heart of friendship.
At the Sewing Machine, Truffle Oil in the spool makes a dark, dyeable shirt. In the dye pots at 2 Willow Lane, it counts as a yellow dye.

Truffles left on the ground at the end of a season vanish the next morning. Collecting them on the last day keeps every Truffle for the Oil Maker.
