Truff first caught my eye with online ads. Yes, I clicked on an ad. I was quite impressed with the concept of the product; and while I have always been a McIlhenny Tabasco guy, with maybe a bit of Cholula hot sauce on occasion, I thought why not.

To be honest, the only food I use hot sauce on is eggs—over easy, scrambled, cheesy—any kind. Eggs just lend themselves well to some spicy adds.

I looked on Amazon and found Truff Hot Sauce for around $17 per bottle. That’s a steep price compared to any size of Tabasco or Cholula, but I still wanted to try it and purchased the sauce.

Several days later, Truff was in hand. The packaging was awesome—an elegant black box and a note from the Truff team. Since I couldn’t wait to try it, I opened the bottle and did a little taste test. Whoa! It was a strong black pepper experience.

Breakfast the next day was a real treat, as I poured Truff all over my five sunny-side up eggs on two slices of wheat toast and topped it all off with grated cheddar cheese. Don’t judge me. I like eggs. I noted Truff’s consistency was much thicker than Tabasco.

As I took my first bite, the initial black pepper experience I had the day before was replaced with a supremely delicious hot sauce with a slight hint of sweetness. It blended perfectly with my eggs and created a fantastic food experience.

As a comparison, several days later I went back to my McIlhenny’s Tabasco on five eggs (sunny-side up) atop two slices of wheat toast and a sprinkling of cheddar cheese. I am a creature of habit, after all. I quickly learned that the price point of Truff was not going to deter me from purchasing again. I prefer its slightly milder flavor profile to the more pungent Tabasco.

Thank you, Truff, for creating such an outstanding product. I am now a loyal consumer and recommend this sauce to all my friends.

Sidenote: Truff recently came out with a white truffle hot sauce. Should I try it or not? Time will tell.
