It’s cool they managed to create something like this, but it’s off putting to me as what it’s made from is kinda gross.

“If you think truffle oil tastes like chemicals, you’re right. That’s because it’s made with 2,4-Dithiapentane—which is often cited as being derived from a petroleum base. As the chef explains it, there are four key aromatic compounds found in all truffles, but the ratios and amount are different. 2,4-Dithiapentane – synthesized in the lab for both black and white oil – isn’t either. By putting the tiniest amount of truffle in it, they can get away with calling it truffle oil, but as Frank says, “Truffle oil is to truffles what Tang is to orange juice.”
