Has anyone tried a little Truffle Oil in CP soap yet? If so please may I have SAP and if possible the hardness? Thanks
My niece bought me some of that oil. Could not smell or taste any difference between that and OO at all. Absolute hype about nothing. 30g of truffle costs $30. There are no free rides in this world.
I was and still am very annoyed by the advertising. I understand buyer beware but I also understand a scam that tricks unsuspecting people.
It is like those companies that advertise that they sell Black African Soap and it turns out they add 5% Black African soap to some other mix. Really?
The moment you hear someone on one of those competitive cooking TV shows mention truffle oil, you can kiss them goodbye. The judges always remark on the strong flavor as a distraction and eliminate them. Maybe it was just OO.
TOMH,
I am sure it had 0.1% truffle oil in it. :twisted:
I contacted the bottler/supplier of Truffle Oil in Manjimup in Western Australia, which is the Aus home of Truffle growing. They advised that Truffle Oil is a volatile essential oil and that they blend 2% of Truffle Oil with 98% Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Western Australian) of course.
I think the very first word from the Wikipedia defines the discussion. It says "Most" not "All". Having said that, I withdraw as I am not a qualified chemist and must rely on the word of the producer.
I will say this however Australia's organic certification regulations are very tough and making false claims can be very expensive.
I do not know if USA regulations are as tough but here is what one producer claims:
We are the only company that makes 100% USDA Organic truffle and porcini oils, and guarantee all of our ingredients are real. And by real we mean real truffles, no artificial flavors, no "aroma" no "essence" and no "extracts" these are all just terms to deceive the public. You can give this set with confidence as a gift and your recipient will greatly appreciate you did your research. Instead of bringing over wine to a dinner party bring a truly memorable gift [trade name redacted] USDA 100% Organic Truffle oil set.
