 Fantastic!Jul 16, 2010
By David Allardyce
Open the lid on this lovely salt and you are struck with the unmistakable aroma of truffles. The taste is even better. A little goes a long way. I add a pinch to eggs to turn ordinary into decadent. Like another review, I also love this salt in popcorn. I add a pinch to my oil (usually clarified butter) before popping and supplement with plain sea salt ground fine in the mortar and pestle. A nice change of pace.
This salt is speckled with black truffle flakes that look something like ground black pepper. The truffle flavor is infused throughout. The salt I received on 5/31/2010 has a 'best before' date of 10/28/2012.

Great on popcorn!Jul 20, 2009
By L. Knights

My bf and I make truffled popcorn with this truffle salt, some truffle infused safflower oil (more of a true truffle taste than truffle infused olive oil) and a stir crazy popper (oh, and a little earth balance melted on top). It is soooo delicious and the truffle flavor is very strong. Zooming in on the picture I saw that it said 5% truffle, but the actual product I received in the mail was labeled 10% just like it says in the product name.

The real smell, seductive......May 05, 2010
By Stephen P. Gruss

I have tried 8 different truffle oils and 4 different salts, this one stands out by far. The scent is so good it will have you repeatedly opening the jar for a "sniff", and later smelling your hands if you used your fingers to pinch some onto food.
Great with pasta, pizza, baked potato, anything that you put olive oil on-sprinkle this on too. See others comments for what they put it on, it is heavenly.
I tried the fungusamongus brand, side by side there is no comparison, this one is the real scent.
The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is I am waiting for a 20 or 25% product, so i can cut down my salt intake.[This one is 10%]
Enjoy ! you wont be dissapointed.

would buy again -- with caveatsSep 18, 2010
By Alba
Ah, the sensual taste of black truffles. This salt includes generous bits of black summer truffles, not winter truffles, but that's good enough for me. At least you know that you're getting actual truffle substance, in contrast to truffle oil, which often contains synthetic compounds (truffle "essence").
I received this package last night and already sprinkled this truffle salt on mashed potatoes and on a veggie burger. I'm looking forward to adding this to my scrambled eggs every morning and creating a blend with unsalted butter. As far as the truffle salt itself goes, I only wish that this were available at an even higher concentration than 10%.
The main problem is the packaging. The lid does not keep in the beautiful aroma of truffles -- I don't mind the smell in the kitchen, but all that wonderful flavor won't end up in the food. I've portioned out some in a camping (screwtop) salt shaker so that I can keep the main stash in a ziploc bag. But to reiterate, the lid itself is really a bad packaging job. In fact, the jar was open when it arrived! I'm not sure whether to blame the manufacturer or Amazon, but this meant the truffle salt spilled all over the inside of bubble wrap and the cardboard box. I recovered most, feeling somewhat pathetic about the effort, but this is expensive stuff and easily 10% to 20% of the product got lost in transit. I guess that tells you how good the stuff is.

Excellent ProductMay 05, 2011
By BBdoodle
I have used many different truffle salts before but this one is be BEST !!!. When I was opening the outer shipping box I could smell the truffle. When I walked back in my kitchen a couple of hours later I could still smell the truffle I thought I may have left the cap off the jar which I did not. I will not buy any other salt now that I found this one..... awesome salt and true to the description of 10% truffle. I highly recommend this product.
