Fleur de Sel de Guérande - 5 oz. Sample Pouch

This is a fantastic truffle salt- my fave by far. I used to get the big bag and split amongst family. The small bag fills a standard spice shaker (plus a tiny bit leftover).It makes plain steamed broccoli taste elite. We love it on hard boiled eggs. Popcorn. Anything really. The umami hooks you immediately, and it’s pungent stuff; you can smell it through the bag. The sea salt does make it so you can use less salt overall- it’s saltier than table salt.

Upon receiving and opening my 5oz bag of Italian Black Truffle Salt, I was appalled by the aroma. I was ready to contact customer service to request a refund (as refunds are not typically granted for food items purchased on Amazon) but decided to go ahead and read more of the critical reviews of this particular product. This turned out to be game changer. There were a number of consumers who mentioned that the aroma was off-putting… but many mentioned that it faded after days or weeks. I took that into consideration and decided to go ahead and try it a few hours after I opened the bag. Hours later, I tried it on fish and just didn’t care for the taste – it actually reminded me of potassium chloride salt substitute.The following morning, I tried it again (on fish). It wasn’t as offensive, but I still didn’t care for it. But, having read a number of the critical reviews, I was rather impressed with the level of customer support follow-through that Rebecca exhibits. I work as a QA Manager at food manufacturing company and can recognize a sincere response. While some of her replies are canned – guess what, so are those related reviews to which she uses that response. Rebecca reads all reviews and replies to them accordingly. If it’s a taste thing, you cannot argue with that, so that’s when you get the canned response (which in my opinion is the best thing a food company can offer, as we all have different taste preferences). If it’s a shipping issue, she addresses it. If it’s an authenticity issue, she reassures you with their certified lab testing. Outside of the excellent reviews where folks already love the product, Rebecca, in my opinion, is the key that keeps the Amazon consumers loyal to this product.So, I tried it again at lunch… which I was hesitant to do because I could smell the unpleasant (only somewhat now) smell from the snack drawer at my desk. Once I opened it up to ask my boss what he thought, I took a sniff and it actually smelled remarkably better! Still not 100%, but it started to smell good. I sprinkled it on my fish and vegetables and enjoyed it!One caveat: Don’t use too much too soon. Within the first 24ish hours, I got little flavor, lots of unpleasant aroma. 36 to 48 hours later… I used a little too much salt (thinking I needed more to get the truffle flavor, based on my experience from the previous 24ish hours). It may take a little time to “soak in” but definitely allow for that time. It’s worth it. I’m going to try a lighter sprinkle tomorrow and let it soak in, marinate before I attempt eating.All in all, I’m not sure if I’ll buy this product again. But then, I’ve only had this salt for 48 hours, and the aroma and flavor have morphed dramatically in that short amount of time. That being said, I’m definitely going to peruse the shop and hopefully order from San Francisco Salt Company again because of the phenomenal customer support and service by Rebecca.

i wish it had even more ''fake'' truffle aroma. but its very delicious and alot of tiny specks of truffle. great on steak, eggs, chicken, in soup... everything.

This stuff adds some good flavor. The only thing I didn't like was that the zip was kinda flimsy on the bag, but that's okay, I just used another container.

2nd time buying this. Great on Salmon! Great flavor. Highly recommend.

I like the resealable package. I use this truffle salt in soups, especially mushroom soup. It adds that funky “truffley” taste.

As soon as you open it smells so good! Granules a pretty fine too.Great product!

I love the flavor on just about everything. I don't bake with it, but beef, chicken, some fish, pork, even eggs, and potatoes are yummy.

So good on steak & popcorn!

I like the flavor of the SF Truffle Salt. Great on popcorn, just sprinkle and shake.The crystals are small so easy to blend with foods.Crazy expensive but should last a long time 95 oz. bag)

Super tasty on salads, eggs, meats etc. I don’t normally like truffle flavours but this salt gives new dimension to any food you put on!

Love this salt
