Nope it’s reminiscent of burning rubber and it’s a flavor that drowns almost everything else out. A consommer tv program in my country found out that they don’t even use real truffels in the making.

But it sounds expensive and is instantly recognizable by anyone. Just like the aesthetics of the rich, another poster was referring to. Loud, bland and very recognizable as ‘expensive’.

The vast majority is fake, and basically just a chemical.

Here’s a rule of thumb for you, if you put truffle oil on stuff - it’s already too much truffle oil.
