Some of this stuff can get rather expensive but this particular brand is the most cost effective product of its kind that I have come across and it still delivers the unique and delicious flavor you are looking for. I was a bit skeptical at first, due to the price, but after tasting it at a friend's house, I became a true believer. Like another reviewer here, I add a dash to steamed veggies and a wee bit to some of my salad dressings and to be frank, it will tickle your tongue while knocking your socks off. The best part is that you get all this quality and you do not have to lay awake at nights worrying about what you spent on the stuff.

After I had a pizza with truffles and porcini mushrooms in a small town in Tuscany, I was a committed truffle fan.

And the deal was already sealed when I had potato chips with truffle oil.

It was with at least those two things in mind that I started looking for truffle oil. My first attempt was La Tourangelle (see my review on Amazon). You really have to work to find the truffle essence in the Tourangelle version.

But, JR's La Truffiere is the real deal. Pungent, garlicky, and very powerful. I've only tried two different truffle oils, but I'll risk giving this one a five star rating since I can't imagine a better version.

I looked at a lot of different truffle oils and this one came from a manufacturer that makes a lot of related items. It tastes great and it is a good value. I bought it for my son-in-law who is a professional chef and he thinks it's just great, too!

The smaller sized bottle is perfect for someone who would like to sample the taste before purchasing a larger size. A little goes a long way. Tasty and flavorful--I think it's better used in cold dishes like salads instead of hot dishes where the flavor can get lost. Delivery was fast and I would purchase other products from this company.

I love this stuff!!

A little black truffle oil goes a long way. You can use from one teaspoon to one tablespoon mixed with regular olive oil or even plain old canola oil for the most amazing je ne sais quois.

I add about a teaspoon to my Italian salad dressing and it adds a rich depth of flavor.

Just tonight we used it on grilled salmon and it was fantastic.

I store it in the refrigerator because I use it so slowly that I don't want it to go rancid. If you do store it in the refrigerator you need to pull it out enough ahead that the oil can liquefy.

This is delicious. Try it on steamed broccoli or cauliflower etc. Subtle and unlike anything you've ever tasted!

Have been looking for truffle oil for some time and after reading the reviews here, I decided to give this brand a try. It is excellent, a little goes a long way and it's a great addition to soups and pizza. Expensive, but worth it. I will order the larger bottle the next time.

what an incredible addition to my already delicious mushroom risotto! I cannot wait to use it more. Absolutely delicious!!

I've tried a few brands of truffle oil and I really haven't been able to tell the difference between qualities. All are super pungent with that lovely aroma and taste that truffle oil brings. I used this on salads and also to oven bake/fry potato chips (recipe to follow). The price is great which is why I bought it. Truffle oil can get pricey quick. Depending on how often you use it, it is great to find a economical source! Love this stuff!
