I have bought this before and it was the most amazing and delicious salt so I bought another one - and am incredibly disappointed. It is a strange colour and has a very chemical taste and smell. Was hoping to return this product but am unable to so will just need to throw away and kick myself for wasting so much money.

A few weeks ago I tried some truffle salt that absolutely blew my socks off. So much truffle taste... but a little weird on the tongue. I did some research and found out that MOST truffle salts are made with 3 ingredients: Salt, a few bits of truffle (so they can say "with real truffles"), and artificial truffle flavoring. Weird, turpentine-like flavorings with such a powerful taste that I'm left thinking, "that can't be right".
This truffle salt only has two ingredients: salt, and bits of truffle. It definitely adds a truffle smell and truffle taste. If you've experienced the artificial kind of truffle salt, then the truffle taste in this product may seem underwhelming to you. But do you really want to be putting weird artificial flavoring in your gourmet food? If so, you might as well toss in some MSG and red dye #5...

I fell in love with black truffle sea salt after tasting the Squirrel Italian Black Truffle Almonds at Starbucks. I bought the 2 highest rated ones on Amazon. This one and the Casina Rossa Truffle and Salt by Nicola de Laurentiis. This one wins hands down, it tastes exactly like the almonds I fell in love with so 5 stars for flavor and quality (no "truffle flavor" or "essence").
****
Only gave it 4 stars because I had to take off a star for poor packaging. The salt is in a plastic back inside the tin. Well, that bag sprung a leak (I assume during shipping) and salt had spilled out into the tin. You can guess what happened when I pulled the bag out of the tin. I'd say I lost about a teaspoon of this precious salt to my kitchen counter. At this price, any waste is too much!

Again, for quality and taste this one is the real deal! Here's my comparison of this (Gustus Vitae's Italian Black Truffle Sea Salt) to the Casina Rossa Truffle and Salt by Nicola de Laurentiis:
- Packaging: Casina Rossa wins as it is packaged in a jar with a screw top lid w/ tamper proof sticker seal. No plastic bag, no need to transfer salt, no chance of...
