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 salt contains dried black truffle particles; the truffle content and ingredients are on the label.

Frequently asked questions
How do you use truffle salt?
It's a finishing salt: add a pinch once the food is on the plate. You'll notice it most on fries, eggs and grilled meat.
Can I cook with it?
We wouldn't. The truffle aroma is lost during cooking and only the salt remains. Cook with plain salt.
What's the weight and truffle content?
Weight, truffle content and ingredients are on the label. We don't quote a figure here that we haven't verified; it's also in our reply to your order request.
How should I store it?
Lid tight, somewhere dry. Moisture clumps the salt and weakens the aroma.
Can it replace regular salt?
It isn't everyday cooking salt; it's a finishing salt used in small amounts at the table. If you need to limit salt, the same limit applies to this one.
