 Truffle Oil? Well, at least the oil is real.Jan 12, 2010
I'm flabbergasted by the glowing reviews that "truffle oil" is receiving on Amazon! Those of you espousing a desire to drizzle this stuff on your food might be sorely disappointed to learn that the truffle flavor in those tiny $17 bottles of "truffle oil" are made in a laboratory. There's not a molecule of actual truffle in them. It's a sinful shame that's perpetuated despite being outed a few years ago in an enlightening New York Times article called "Hocus-Pocus, and a Beaker of Truffles." Read it and weep: [...]
And if you see "truffle oil" advertised on the menu somewhere, you might ask if they're using any other artificial flavorings in their dishes...

Very misleading info from JRSep 05, 2009
Why does JR Specialties attempt to trick young,gullible, aspiring chefs to use this cheap ARTIFICIAL oil?
DO your research- truffle oil is not natural JR, so that piece of info should be included under PRODUCT DESCRIPTION.
At least when people pay for the crap you are selling, they should bw aware that it's crap and not some
european made high-end truffle oil!

Actually and sadly, there's no such thing as real truffle oil.Jul 03, 2009
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:
Hocus-Pocus, and a Beaker of Truffles

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.

white truffle oilJan 11, 2009
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.
