TruffleHunter - White Truffle Oil - Extra Virgin Olive Oil for Cooking & Seasoning - 8.45 Oz

I have purchased this product repeatedly and found it to be always consistent quality. It is also highly rated, as I recently found out. It even has little pieces of truffle in each bottle.I love that i can have both black and white truffle oil, too - all in one order!You won't go wrong buying this brand.

The taste is exquisite, so pure and bright. Earthy.

Delicious! Purchasing my fifth bottle. Taste is very truffle-ly and really punches up the flavor of a dish. Much more affordable than the offerings in my NYC gourmet stores (which average around $25 - $30,

Just the smell alone of this oil is enough to make my mouth water. The bottle is tiny, a little over 3oz. What was nice were the truffle shavings at the bottom (just a few) and it has a luscious garlicky aroma. I made roasted brussells sprouts with it and they were delicious. My only regret is that I had to use more truffle oil than I expected to really taste it in the dish so it's a bit expensive to use regularly.

Excellent flavor, especially for marinating steaks, chicken and shrimp. We put them in a freezer bag, add the truffle oil and a little garlic powder. Can be frozen if not cooking right away.

This Truffle oil is delightful

I wanted to buy the big bottle of the stuff, but the bigger bottle had a lot of negative reviews that scared me away (same exact product as this, just literally the bigger sized bottle, more cost effective but higher upfront cost) so I stuck with the small bottle in case it wasn't a good buy. But it IS a good buy. Next time I will be buying the bigger bottle for sure. Some people complained about receiving leaky bottles, but my package was dry and secure. Some people had complained about the flavor. To this I have two comments: Truffle flavor is dank. Its a little gnarly. Its a fungus. A DELICIOUS fungus, but still wild. If you don't KNOW what truffles taste like and have no idea what to expect, this oil has FLAVOR and is not a sautéing oil. Its not your average vegetable or olive oil. And honestly, for truffle oil, this isn't OVERPOWERING. It's actually quite perfect. Which is point 2. A little goes a long way and if you use the right proportions, its SO GOOD. I even ate a few drops plain and no, it didn't knock me off my feet. It is GOOD. But don't add 2 TBSP to your little onion and garlic sautée. Like I said, this oil is for flavor, not function.If you are looking for a recipe to try it in, I recommend the Potato and Mushroom Al Forno by Jamie Oliver (in his book Ultimate Veg). I used this oil to make it last night (which is what reminded me to write this review) and it turned out really really well. It does take a while to bake, but is a really easy recipe so log as you can wedge some potatoes and onions.

I bought the white and black truffle oil traditional combo package of 8.45 oz as a Christmas gift for my brother-in-law, who is a super-gourmet, a.k.a. has expensive taste, and you can't just give him anything. I did my research and looked at many possibilities, and this seemed like a good option. I read that for a good truffle oil, it is critical that it has real truffles, not just truffle aroma or flavor. Plus, I also read it was better with extra virgin olive oil, rather than just olive oil. I based my criteria mainly on that.I knew it was a crap shoot how the bottle arrived and the expiration date (that's not the manufacturer's fault, it's the shipping), but I decided to take the chance. What I had seen at an Italian specialty store was much worse and expensive. Fortunately, the bottles arrived fine with no leakage despite not being packed well, and the expiration date was in a year. I thought I was out of the woods until I turned the bottle around to look to confirm the ingredients (because they were listed in the ingredients section on the website, another critical aspect). To my surprise, the ingredients are the same, but in a different order, a.k.a. percentage, which is how they are listed on products. It's 48.6% extra virgin olive oil, but it has the exact same percentage of regular olive oil, so half and half. The next ingredient is 2.5% truffle FLAVORING, which is NOT the same as real truffles, and was one of the things I had been careful about not to choose when I did my research. The very LAST ingredient is REAL truffles, but only 0.3%, basically almost nothing (SEE PICTURES ATTACHED). The ingredients and percentages are the same in both oils, except for the type of truffle: white vs. black. The order and percentages of the ingredients are what is NOT said on the ingredients section of the website, and of course, there are NO pictures of the back of the bottle, where the ingredients are listed, because it's not convenient for the manufacturer that people know the TRUTH about the product they are trying to sell. Good products don’t hide information. On the contrary, they proudly display it. In my research, I found out that it’s important that the product lists the percentages, and good ones will do so. As a rule of thumb, I think if they are not listed it is because they are not good.In full disclosure, I have not tasted truffle oil and don't know what it is supposed to taste like, but common sense tells me that something that has 0.3% infused of the product that is supposed to be, is not good. When you look at the bottles, they have 2 or 3 small shavings of truffle at the bottom of each one. I think that's the 0.3% that it contains, that's it!! I probably won't taste the oils so I can’t speak to that, but I will have to tell my brother-in-law the story to explain why I'm giving him such a bad gift. I have no other option, because ohhhh, by the way, if you don't know, it's not returnable.Look, I almost NEVER write reviews, but I thought, heyyyyyy, people deserve to know the truth. So, if the manufacturer is not going to tell you, I will, so you don't make the same mistake I did. The reality is that truffles are really expensive and in general, you get what you pay for. I thought this was a good option and affordable. My humble advice is: be aware of something of this kind that is cheap and don't buy it, because you are going to get a cheap product. Buy a small, nice bottle of oil of your favorite type of truffle and you'll probably enjoy the flavor much more than buying something bigger that has no flavor, of truffle of course. DON’T buy something cheap, there is always a catch, and you'll get something cheap.I attach the following pictures of the back of the bottles so you can see for yourself what you’re buying and if you decide to buy it, at least you’ll know what you're buying.
