Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I confess I've never had a real, fresh, honest to goodness black truffle before. But I have bought truffle oil many times. I actually did buy something that claimed to be a real truffle some years back - it looked like a truffle, sat in its own tiny little jar and cost me over $25, but it was virtually flavorless. So most of my experience has been with truffle oil. From that perspective, I can tell you that this product is far superior to truffle oil. The aroma and flavor are simply stronger. Yes, it's expensive, but a jar goes a pretty long way. It is absolutely fabulous with anything involving steak, eggs, or potatoes. Sure, truffles can flavor a wide variety of dishes, but to my tastebuds, steak, eggs, and potatoes are the perfect compliment. If you don't believe me, try this for the most unbelievable steak you've ever had: Melt a stick of salted butter in the microwave. Add roughly the same amount of plain goat cheese and whisk to uniform consistency. Add about 1/2 tsp of minced black truffle and some freshly ground pepper and whisk again. Refrigerate until cool and solid. Cook steak according to your favorite method and then slather liberally with this goat cheese truffle butter. You're welcome!
