how intense is the truffle flavor/content in this brand? do you need a lot of butter e.g. for a pasta dish or just e.g. a teaspoon to get a rich truffle flavor?

Here we go again with the infamous "natural" label. Sure fat from ducks is a natural product, but how was the duck raised and what did it eat? If it has been fed, for example, Monsanto's corn, so much for natural.

A little bit goes a long way

thanks - I had such a craving for a good truffle butter the other day - hope it will make me happy

Again, Dad's 80th in April, what better to go in the gift basket than this? Along with Peter's Port, Brandini and Sea Salt Caramel goodies?
Cheers!

It is plenty strong. Just make sure you don't cook with it because that kills the aroma and flavor of truffles. I let the black truffle butter melt on the top of a steak after I've cooked it, and do the same with the white truffle butter on seafood and pasta.

They've got truffle butter and duck fat, but do they have duck butter?

It will I purchased for my dad and uncle last fathers day. They both love me.

When used in such a fashion, does it enhance the flavor of the steak or cover it? I wouldn't want to mask the flavor of an expensive grass fed ribeye.

About half a teaspoon should do a grassfed ribeye just right. I've used Aux Delices des Bois black and white truffle butters a lot over the last few years and a little DOES go a long way as someone else mentioned. You won't go wrong with this purchase.

AGH! Can't believe I missed this! We didn't freeze ours and it went bad after a couple months.

Be sure to freeze it and it'll last much longer.

Truffle butter goes a long way but shouldn't be cooked with. It is more of a finishing butter. Great on Brussel sprouts btw!

Good stuff!
