I'm so happy I tried TRUFF. My colleague has been raving about it for years, so when I was in the U.S. and saw it in Sprouts, I leapt at the chance to try it and threw it straight into my basket. First of, the truffle flavor is just right: noticeable enough to add a rich, savory umami taste without overpowering the sauce. Then the consistency hits that perfect middle ground—not too thick, not too thin—which means it clings wonderfully to wings, grilled chicken, and even roast potatoes. Plus, the dark orangey-red colour is rich and appetising. However, there are a couple of drawbacks. For starters, it’s a bit too sweet for my liking, almost reminiscent of the tomato sauce in canned spaghetti. And then there’s the price. I got it discounted at $12 in Sprouts, but the usual $15 to $20 a bottle feels steep, especially considering the relatively small size. It’s definitely more of an indulgence than an everyday hot sauce (I'm looking at you my beloved Frank's Red Hot). Despite these cons, TRUFF does play well with other flavours and even pairs surprisingly well with sauces like ranch, adding a new dimension to your dip game. And while this isn’t exactly a complaint, I wouldn’t mind if it had a touch more heat. Next up, I really want to try TRUFF Buffalo - I love wings, and I bet the truffle flavour pairs perfectly here. I can see this being a 5/5 In summary, if you’re up for splurging and enjoy that truffle-infused umami punch, TRUFF Hot Sauce is for you. Just be prepared for a hint of sweetness and a higher price tag. Lastly, it’s also worth mentioning that it’s now easy to find in stores like Whole Foods and Sprouts, or to buy online direct or even through Thingtesting.
