What to cook with it
Truffle aroma or real truffle?
They are not the same thing. 2,4-dithiapentane, one of the known compounds in truffle aroma, occurs in natural truffles and is also made synthetically; in many commercial "truffle" products this is where the smell comes from.
A study in Food Control reports that truffle-flavoured oils rarely contain real truffle or natural truffle aroma. So "flavoured" doesn't mean there is truffle inside; the way to be sure is to read the label.
This sauce is made with mushrooms, olive oil and black truffle; the truffle content and ingredients are on the label.

Frequently asked questions
How do you use black truffle sauce?
Stir a spoonful through hot pasta or spread it thinly on toast. It doesn't need heating; the warmth of the food is enough.
Do I need to cook the sauce?
No, it's ready to use from the jar. Long simmering dulls the aroma, so add it after you turn off the heat.
How long does it keep once opened?
Keep it in the fridge covered with a little olive oil and finish it within a week. Use a clean spoon.
How much truffle is in it?
The truffle content and ingredients are on the label. We don't quote a figure here that isn't on the label.
How many servings is one jar?
The jar is 90 g. At a spoonful per serving it covers several meals; adjust to taste.
