Stay Away!
I work in a restaurant that uses truffle oils. I should've bit the bullet and took the suggestion of my chef and bought another brand he suggested, and uses, but i wanted to go cheap and as a result i got this, super chemically, garbage. The reviews are great but either they're shills or people who have no idea what they are tasting.
Now to the whole question of chemicals? It's true there's essentially no truffle oil that isn't enhanced artificially. Acknowledging that we either accept that fact and use a good quality oil or don't use truffle oil at all. With that said this is NOT GOOD and obviously NOT made with any balance between natural and artificial elements cause it tastes like it came straight from a lab. As for the oils i know and should have purchased? Sabatino Tartuffi (white) or Toccata(black).
