Title: Barely a hint of truffle flavor - stay away.
Product review: I bought these black truffle peelings from gourmetfoodstore and was really hoping to get the flavor of black truffles so that I could start making some amazing dishes at home. I bought a variety of different black truffles, truffle oil, truffle paste, etc - a total of about $200 worth.So far, I feel like I've wasted nearly all of my money. These peelings are practically tasteless and odorless, and if I was blindfolded, I'd think that they were just sliced mushrooms with very little flavor. I mean 'very little' - like NONE.If you want the taste of black truffles, keep looking elsewhere and splurge on the whole ones in the jars, so far that's the closest I've come - yet they're still very very subtle.Remember, 98% of all the worthwhile truffles harvested are kept by the harvesters or sold to exclusive buyers who usually represent expensive restaurants!
