The Truffle Hot Sauce
TRUFF TRUFF White Truffle Hot Sauce
We firmly believe that delicate white truffles make everything better, but especially when they're infused in our hot sauce. One of Oprah's Favorite Things, this TRUFF Hot Sauce is an insanely delicious blend of ripe chili peppers, white truffle, agave nectar, and just a touch of coriander for a hot sauce that is jam-packed with umami flavor.
Put this on pizza, pasta, or omelettes, and try your very best not to drink it straight from the bottle.
