Ok, I've often wondered, what is the real appeal of this? How does it taste?

We sell this at the deli I work at. It's awesome.

I got this last time and it was just delicious. Keep it in the freezer to make it last.

What do you do with it? Do you use it more for cooking & sauces or more as a spread?

This stuff is pure delight - but a little goes an incredibly long way and it keeps forever in the freezer, so I still don't need to buy more!

How long will this last once opened? (And I don't mean once everyone gets their paws on it ;))

Does it need to be refrigerated?

I see it is sent via 'dumb'SmartPost, I assume not chilled...

Sorry, rushing off to dentist appt, wanted to get these Q's in ;)

I'm fully stocked or I'd be on this one. This stuff is great. It will keep in the freezer for a long, long time. I just chisel off a chunk as needed. If you haven't tried it by now, start today!

I can see how this would be really really tasty, but I eat pretty healthy and don't even have butter in the fridge. As my use wouldn't be that often, how long can these last after opened?

Cooking/sauces - I can't actually imagine spreading it on toast, or something. But melting a little bit over steak or vegetables is delicious.

This stuff is the greatest. I paid attention to this whole wootoff just for this item.

I got these last time and I've hardly put a dent in them and I've been keeping them in the fridge. I really only use these guys as butter to put on bread and it is delicious. But the smells are a little too noxious for me, so I won't be buying them again. But I am glad I tried them out.

Put a dab of the black on a burger or a steak, put the white on pastas. You can't go wrong with this stuff.

Oh truffle butter, how I love you. The black truffle butter goes great with potatoes. I have added it to baked potatoes, roasted potatoes, and mashed potatoes. It keeps for a long time in the freezer, if you can resist using it. I have melted the white truffle butter over asparagus and even added it to a roast I fixed recently. Buy it! They are both amazing!

Hummm, love truffle butter!
$35 for a whole pound seems fair if it's high quality: can someone who has some stocked in the freezer give us the ingredient list?

I've got about 2 of these offerings left in the freezer, this stuff is SO delicious I'm in for 2 more.

Might be one of the best woots I've ever purchased!

Last time it came with a little freeze-bag thing to make sure it stayed cold for the trip, and it was sent Fed-Ex. I kept it in the freezer on advice from Wooters who had bought it previously, and just scraped off bits with a knife as needed. It'll probably keep indefinitely frozen (but it won't last very long at our house). It's fantastic on pretty much anything- crackers, english muffins, in mashed potatoes, on steak...

Woohoo! I've been lying in wait this entire woot-off for this stuff, just hoping it'd come up. I've been kicking myself for missing it the last time.

Sounds like this isn't the type of item that should be shipped via SmartPost then?????

Usually get a set when woot offered. Prefer the black truffle butter over the white truffle which is more garlic like. Wish woot offered one or the other, not as a set. Would only get the black truffle butter if they did.

This stuff is great, especially the black. I use the black in a mushroom soup that I make. The white can be used on artichokes, asparagus, pasta, etc. but I haven't found a great use for it yet like the black.

I have plenty from the last offering so I won't be buying any today. But if anyone is debating whether or not to go for it, I say do!

I think I've said this in the past, finish off your risotto with the white truffle butter. I'm using the black truffle butter for mashed potatoes this Saturday.

It said it was being shipped Smartpost last time too, but it wasn't. Probably the same this time as well.

I wish Aux Delices des Bois would offer some of their bacon or duck fat as well.

Hint hint woot.

Yeah - snagged me a Barrels of Crud over on Woot.

Can't wait until one day we get a Case Of Wine (COW) over here

I believe last time it was listed as SmartPost, but it actually shipped FedEx in two or three days. And as stated, it came with a small freezer pack to keep it cold.

Personally I prefer the white, I love love love that garlicky bite!

My brother gave me some of this as a Christmas present. It is fantastic! I would be in for some if I hadn't just recieved some as a gift...

I'm convinced, hit the gold button on with one foot out the door.. Now to the painful process that is the dentist...

Oh and forgot, last time we got a set, the white truffle butter wasn't plastic-sealed properly. Came frozen but not being fully sealed was a health risk. Threw it out right away.

Where are the truffles from? I saw a story about how the Chinese are dumping truffles in France, how crappy they taste, and how French law allows the dirty scoundrels to say it is made in France if they package it, even if it isn't from France!

Excited. Also, both surprised and excited to see that I am not the only person in Oklahoma who is interested in something like this. Hellooooooo, fellow Oklahoma gourmand wooters!

And one more thing , a third-party seller on Amazon has the Black Truffle Butter by Aux Delices des Bois (3oz) for $8.99 and $19.99 shipping. So this woot offering of 8oz for each flavor is such a way better deal.

Did you contact woot? They are usually very good about making things right?

drooling...

Saw the same story! There better not be any cheap Chinese Truffles in my butter!!!
I looked at the website and it does say the truffles are sourced from France/Italy. Who knows how reliable that is though.

Great stuff!

If I did not already have 2 of each in my freezer, I'd be all over this.

If you use truffle butter on truffles, you will inadvertently break reality. It's more truffle than the Universe can handle.

I saw the same 60 minutes story. The guy claimed because he packaged them in France he could call Chinese truffles a "product of France". At least its not like $500 truffle butter, but still...
