TRUFFLES USAWhole Black Truffles 1.76 oz

I ordered these jarred truffles with some trepidation as I would for any mail-order food product. But it turned out that these little devils were as savory and fresh-tasting as you could imagine. There were three, whole black truffles in the jar and they were easy to slice up and powerful in their flavoring of the first dish we used them with. In this case, it was an omelet recipe from a Patricia Wellles cookbook. The eggs were terrific with the truffles minced up in them.I'm no expert on truffles and I suspect that the fungi that you can buy fresh at a farmers' market in Europe are likely to be even better, but these little guys from Truffles USA were wonderful. That said, truffles are an indulgence and never cheap, but I'd argue that they are worth a splurge as often as you can afford them.NOTE: Once you open the jar to use the truffles for the first time, what remains has a limited life-span, even when refrigerated. I think that it's all over inside of a week.

We're on our third jar of these and will no doubt buy more. Obviously, you're not waving these under the nose of a Michelin chef or anything, but they're a great way for home cooks to access truffles without breaking the bank. Note: Once opened, the truffle(s) must be used in 7 days. It's smart to do some meal planning before cracking open the jar since a little goes a long way and waste would be heartbreaking.

These tasted like nothing. I used to buy these all the time when they were like $20 a jar. They tasted better. Now they are ridiculously over priced and taste like nothing. Very dissatisfied and will not be purchasing again.

If you can't get fresh, these are a reasonable and economical substitute. Mild flavor (summer truffles are typically mild) but excellent full aroma. I used on a French omelet, shaved over steak, and I minced one piece to make into a stick of compound butter (which I REALLY recommend). Will continue to purchase.

I thought these were great. It was the first time I’ve ever had truffles, so I have nothing to compare them to. They were very strong smelling and strong taste. I was happy with them though. I’ve been curious to try truffles for a while now and I’m glad I did. I had a few questions and they were answered almost immediately from the seller.

I love truffles, but like most people, can't access fresh ones. This was an excellent product with plenty of truffle-y deliciousness at a reasonable price for the amount. I made a pasta with truffles, anchovies, garlic, crushed red pepper, oregano, parsley, mushrooms, and parmesan, boosting the truffle flavor with some good white truffle oil from Calivirgin. The flavor was wonderfully-complex and deep. That was last night and, mindful that the remaining truffles would lose their potency quickly, I did a nice scrambled eggs with truffles, mushroom, parsley, and cheddar/jack cheese, again boosted with the truffle oil, and it was great! Recommend this product highly!

First of all the jar was somehow leaking when it arrived, so most of the fluid was gone. Secondly, I got 4 tiny truffles, not two larger ones as shown in the picture. Finally, I have bought many jars of sliced truffles before, and the flavor was a lot stringer on those than on the ones I received on this order. I wouldn't recommend it unless you don't have any other options.

Used these in a cream sauce, excellent! Fragrant and taste very good.
