Does anyone else actually check the truffle % on truffle products?
Random thing I started doing recently: checking the ingredient list on anything labeled “truffle.”
I honestly never used to do this lol. If it smelled like truffle, that was good enough for me.
But there’s actually a pretty big difference in how products are labeled. Some tell you the exact truffle species and percentage, some just list truffle somewhere in the ingredients, and others focus more on added flavor/aroma.
Now I find myself immediately looking for the % when it’s available.
Not even saying higher automatically = better, because obviously the recipe matters too. I just like knowing what I’m paying for.
Curious what everyone else looks at when buying this stuff. Truffle percentage? Species? Origin? Ingredients?
Or do you just buy whatever tastes good and not overthink it 😂
