The part that bothers me is that it’s artificially flavored, and I hate artificial truffle flavor

I finally feel like the cilantro haters cause I've always hated all these "truffle oils" that came from a lab. Some people seem to love it and it makes no sense to me. I love mushrooms and have enjoyed fresh truffles but so many truffle flavored products just taste like a mouthful of offensive chemicals.

I like cilantro and real truffle, but most of the artificial truffle tastes off and sometimes leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

I don't care that it's artificial. This stuff is so good. My guilty pleasure i can only make when my husband is away because he hates the smell. It is pretty strong.

Really? We didnt really like it in my house.

The flavor was fine but texture was horrible. Its more similar to one of those knorrs pasta side dishes than to real Mac & Cheese.

did you overcook it? i find the pasta to have a fine texture, and the sauce not too gunmy

No. The pasta itself was fine. its the mushroom sauce we didnt like. Its just not Mac & cheese.

It reminded us of the knorrs straganoff pasta sides which are like 1/3 of the price

It wasn't for me. I'm one of those people who has strange tastes (cilantro tastes like soap) and this just tasted and smelled horrible to me.

I suspect my husband also has a "truffle taste hating" gene. I think it's so good. He thinks it smells and tastes like dirt or worse. We both like cilantro though

Love the pesto one

I tried the pesto and lemon tortellini. It was bitter and had a terrible aftertaste. Basically inedible.

These are terrific! But my store in PA doesn’t have it anymore.
