This is an amazing product and we just love it! The quality of the truffle oil is excellent and the customer service at JR mushrooms and specialties is even better. They had accidentally shipped the black truffle oil, and when I contacted them, they were extremely professional and courteous. We received the correct item just 2 days later. They even let us keep the black for the inconvenience. We will definitely buy from them exclusively in the future. Highly recommend!

I too was fooled, but apparently there is no such thing as truffle oil made with truffles. They are all made with a chemical compound. See this article from the New York Times:

As the article notes, it's not possible to infuse oil with a truffles and ALL oils claiming to be made from truffles aren't. Don't feel too bad, even rather famous chefs fell for the idea. But all of this explains the "one-dimensional flavor" of these oils. One might argue if it tastes good then it doesn't matter. Perhaps, but that doesn't explain why the oils costs so much.

I love this product. I also bought their black truffle oil, which has a different (maybe you could say a little heavier as well) taste altogether. I have used both in risotto and I used this in a mostly morell mushroom soup I made for Christmas. It adds so much flavour, you won't believe it. And pricewhys, it is a fantastic value.

I used this truffle on mashed potatoes this holiday season. Many guests asked me why the potatoes tasted so well and different. I showed them the bottle and told them they could get the truffle oil on amazon.

Being the adventurous cook that I am, I needed truffle oil for a new application I was trying out for a Saturday dinner party. Never having tasted truffle oil, let alone a truffle, I figured regular oil would do. I am so glad I found this product. It made all the difference. Imagine the earthiest flavor you can and then triple it. That's what this oil gives you.

I can't wait to find more applications that call for it.

Truffle Oil is a flavoring agent. And this inexpensive flavoring product is pretty decent when added to cooking requiring a fungal aromatic.

I suppose there could be a real truffle or two or ten added per 100 gallons of olive oil, along with a generous supply of 2,4-DTP for flavor enhancement. Who knows, and really who cares given its price and use? People certainly buy vanillin instead of vanilla for baking, and that totally artificial ingredient works pretty well in cakes. And people also use other artificial flavorings from pineapple to cherry to almond in their cooking. For those dumping on the product on the chance that its been enhanced, were you expecting 24K gold for the price of Grade 2 straw?

Purchased as a gift for my boyfriend for Christmas. He was very happy with it and uses it in his cooking.

We were unable to get to mushroom festival in kennett square this year soo we decided to order stuff on line !!! Very pleased....

This oil is unbelievable! I researched truffle oil for about a month and ended up ordering this stuff. What a great choice!

It's excellent on ANYTHING! And extremely affordable. This bottle outta last me a good 3 months.....and then I'm gonna definitely reorder!

Tastes wonderful. So many options.... mashed potatoes, pizza, steamed vegetables...the list goes on and on.
