My name is Chandler and I'm a black truffle salt addict, February 11, 2010
This review is from: Black Truffle Infused Sea Salt (Sale con Tatufo Nero) 100g. (Misc.)
Yeppers...totally addicted to this stuff. It is like a little black truffley food magician.
If you've ever had truffle oil (white or black) or tasted truffles mixed in with food, this is like that but better...Because, really, what's better for seasoning than salt to begin with for bland food, right? So take that "wonder seasoning" and make it better.
But if you have never had a whif of truffles...think earthy, sauteed mushroomy, yummy, (dang it, I just sniffed it to try and figure out how to describe it and I swear it makes me want to eat the whole jar for some reason.)
I was a white truffle salt addict for awhile there, having gotten a taste at a herb loving friend's house (that sounds wrong, doesn't it? Cooking herbs.) but I've now changed loyalties.
Negatives: Too DANG expensive. That is totally undeniable. Look, someone has gotta pay those pigs that find truffles through trained snouts, right? (yes, that is how they hunt these yummy things that go in here.) (Grin.)
Fortunately, I recently found 3 jars at TJ Maxx in their gourmet food section. I went back for more the next day after I realized the monkey was on my back with truffle whispers, but they'd sold out.
This is the brand I got, and it's got the perfect amount of smoky earthy truffle infusion and it's mixed with sea salt which has so much more flavor than plain granulated so I'll be back here for more when I soon finish the jars...
However, I've used several other brands as well, all with good results. I also like the brand called Sale Spezie.
Incidentally, this takes a mere potato to gourmet and godly eating quality
