- Ever see that ad on social media for the truffle hot sauce? Me too, and I came so close to buying it so many times. Well luckily for me, they reached out and sent me some bottles to try out on camera for the PapiEats community. Let's give all three varieties of TRUFF, hot sauces infused with truffle oil, a shot!

I bought the black bottles at Costco and I really like them. Great taste and not too hot.
They have mayo based, and a oil and something else. So happy for you getting a paid promotion from Truff.
Just bought the black label at a store. I didn't see the red one there only the black. Id like the red one because although the black is good, it is def not hot and more of a sweet sauce. I put hot sauce on everything so i have to try the red.
I love the black one but the red hotter one definitely kicks up the heat and flavor!
I’ve tried all three and three and the original is still my favorite, taste, heat everything!🙌🏼
There is no heat and no pepper flavor
Got a bottle of the "hotter" Truff sauce. Barely any heat. Even with just a small amount the Truffle flavor is way too strong. It overpowers everything. Maybe I just don't like truffle? Wierd cus I literally will eat anything and enjoy it. Wasted like 16$ on a bottle of this... Hoping I can give it away to someone who may appreciate it. Disgusting stuff. Even the smell.
I enjoy the truffle flavor, even though it's flavoring and not real black truffles. The company should be sued for advertising this as hot sauce. It's not hot, and there's no pepper flavor.
I just bought a bottle of the red "hotter" sauce but I haven't tried it or any Truff products yet. I was surprised at the price as it must've gone down. At Publix it only cost $9.99. Red was the only flavor they carried. I don't know how it will be but it does seem to actually have real truffle in it. The 2nd ingredient is "Black Truffle (Tuber Melanosporum)." Then the 3rd ingredient is "Olive Oil Infused with Black Truffle Essence." So I'm guessing it has both real truffle and that the "essence" is basically truffle oil mixed with olive oil. The truffle itself is listed as a more prominent ingredient than the truffle oil as well so I'm guessing that's a good thing. The first ingredient is basically a blend of a bunch of ingredients though. "TRUFF Chili Blend (Red Chili Peppers, Water, Vinegar, Organic Sugar, Garlic & Salt)." So it seems to have more real truffle than "truffle essence" but at the same time have less truffle than salt. So by doing the math on the sodium one bottle has 1,540mg. That would mean there is a maximum of 1.54 grams or about a gram and a half of real truffle in each bottle and then some truffle oil probably in there too. So it's definitely less than 1% truffle in the bottle as the bottle weighs 170 grams. As far as them being sued or whatever for calling it hot sauce if it doesn't end up being hot I would guess you can legally call anything hot sauce even if it only has 1 scoville unit. Even 1 unit would technically be "hotter" than zero units. Other ingredients are "Red Chili Peppers" "Red Habañero Powder" & "Spices." So I'm sure they have their bases covered when it comes to that. I've had Taco Bell Hot Sauce and it isn't hot to me at all. Even the "Fire" and "Diablo" sauces aren't hot. I'm hoping this at least beats those out. I wanted to try the White Truffle sauce but they didn't carry it at Publix so I got the red. I'm sort of glad I got the red though because I have heard multiple say that TRUFF really isn't that hot. If anyone is looking for a more economical hot sauce I strongly suggest Valentina's. The Extra Hot black label is the best but the regular Hot yellow label is still a very good backup option. It has a lot of flavor and if you use a ton of it it can get pretty hot but it's not like some of these ridiculous sauces like "Dave's Special Reserve Ultimate Insanity Sauce" or anything. I think some of those sauces are more like a novelty for people to show off how much they can handle the heat or to trick unassuming people into trying it. I tried some of that Dave's Ultimate Insanity Sauce when I was a little kid. There was nothing even remotely enjoyable about it. It had zero flavor at all and even the smallest amount would totally ruin an entire meal for 99% of the human population. I have watched multiple fully grown men cry for half an hour straight after barely dabbing a toothpick on their tongue that just had a little bit of that stuff on it. To me the most important things about hot sauce are:
#1. That it has a lot of good flavor that pairs well with but is totally independent of the heat.
#2. That it does in fact have enough heat. When your like Taco Bell and you have a Mild, Medium, Hot, Extra Hot, Fire and Diablo at least one if not 2,3 or 4 of those should be too hot for 80% of the population to handle. Mild should be somewhat weak but if you really do enjoy hot sauce at least the Diablo flavor should seem adequate. I really don't get the point of having 6 different levels of hot sauce if none of them are going to be hot. If someone finds Diablo too hot they can always go to a weaker sauce like mild. But for people who find Diablo sauce nowhere close to hot enough like myself we are just out of luck. I always have to absolutely drench my taco in it with several packets and still come out halfway disappointed in the heat level.
#3. That the hot sauce isn't so overpoweringly hot that even the smallest amount will ruin a meal. I like to have the flavor and heat to enhance meals. Not have the sauce be the entire focal point of the meal. It seems a lot of these more recent brands of hot sauce are more for people who enjoy just the heat because it gives them an endorfin rush or something and don't care about flavor at all. It always sucks when you have a nice meal and you taste the sauce first with a toothpick but then you can't even enjoy the meal because the sample of the sauce alone feels like you burned your tongue off. So it's kind of a balance between too weak and too hot. Most are too weak but the few that are too hot seem to be WAY too hot.
#4. I guess the last part would be ingredients. I would prefer natural ingredients whenever possible. I'll also throw price per ounce in there too. I'd feel dumb paying a ton for a bottle if there's a better sauce available for less money.
Valentina's is probably my #1 choice because it has incredible flavor and the black label is just the right amount of heat for me. If that's too hot for anyone then the yellow label is great too. As far as I can tell if you don't like the yellow label Valentina it's because you just don't like hot sauce. It's also much cheaper than TRUFF even though the bottle is more than twice as big. A lesser known but decent backup brand to Valentina I would say is Louisiana Gold. It's not quite hot enough for me. It's not even as hot as standard Tabasco. I like Louisiana Gold much more than Tabasco though because it has WAY more flavor. There's a restaurant I go to and I love to order the clam chowder and then pour Louisiana Gold in there until it turns pink. That stuff has so much more flavor than Tabasco that I will choose it instead every time. The restaurant I know that carries it is Ted's Montana Grill. So if you're ever there I would recommend trying it and if you can handle Tabasco don't be afraid of it because it's not even that hot.
Anyway... Thanks for reading what ended up being a dissertation about Hot Sauce! I hope this information ended up being useful to someone. I also hope this red label "Hotter" flavor of TRUFF is good.
It’s spicy but not crazy-at least not for me. I’m used to scorpion pepper sauce.
@@URaggedybetch How is scorpion pepper sauce? I always hear of that and "ghost pepper" and "dragon pepper" and at this point they are creating so many different hybrid peppers that it's really difficult to tell them apart when it comes to sauce. In sauce the ingredients vary so much and a sauce with a hotter pepper can be weaker than a sauce with a less hot pepper from my experience.
@@matthew01234 it’s fire! Try some Trinidadian scorpion pepper sauce if you want real heat and favor.
I got the tiny 1.5oz size to try, got all three, they tasted good as a sauce, but definitely not hot at all.
Watching you trying those hot sauce made me sweat up haha
They just came out with a jalapeño and lime infused hot sauce. It sounds great on tacos.
It’s fantastic on tacos. My fav sauce of theirs by far.
Love how you kept it real and didn’t just say you liked the last one because they sent it to you!! Definitely gonna try the hottest one
Always honest on here, for better or worse. It's tough because that one isn't bad, in fact I can appreciate it's "better" but I am just not attuned to that potent of a truffle taste. The other two were fantastic though!
My mouth started watering before I even clicked. This better be good haha
10/10 would try *checks price* $30 a bottle or $90 for the 3 pack. I mean, that's fair haha. But damn.
Heh it’s not the cheapest sauce. I think it’s cheaper at the Amazon links I put in the description, not sure. Thanks for checking out my video at least 😊😊
I just bought a small trio pack of these at The Nugget. I'm super excited to try them for myself!
What a coincidence with the timing of this video. Last week I bought Melinda's Black Truffle Hot Sauce. I never had Truffle Hot Sauce before. If I like it I will have to give TRUFF a shot.
Ooh thanks for the tip on another brand!
I finally got a chance to watch this and now I need to try the white truffle sauce! I’ve never had that one… they also have Mayo snd pasta sauce and truffle oil mmmm I love truffle anything
I still need to crack those open and do some videos…thanks for the reminder
Wow, this hot sauce looks next level elegant in packaging alone. Cheers on them reaching out to you for paid promotion! I like your honesty with not preferring last hot sauce.
No bs here on PapiEats!
Oooooh I like the packaging. Looks really yummy. I’ve been a long time Valentina fan but I’ll have to try these!
Ngl I had to Google Valentina to see if that was a sauce or an autocorrect typo on your part 😂 Never had it!
My mouth is watering!!
Saw some at my local wegmans! However it was like 18 bucks or something, couldn't justify it. Maybe I'll give it a go. Thanks for the insight, Cheers!
You definitely have to want to pay the premium for the truffle oil. Tastes great though and a little goes a long way.
Cool review! Truffles aren’t my thing, but I dig the video! Looking forward to that new Mountain Dew review!
…thanks for reminding me to post that lmao
@@PapiEats happy to help! 😆
Just picked up the normal truff hot sauce today, from the store have been wanting to for a while for but a bit pricey hopefully I like it
Nice shout out the Endorsement just gave you on his most recent Jollibee review........
Thanks for the heads up haha twas a shout out alright
@@PapiEats ;-)
Please try the Mayo, I’ve tried the black bottle truff and loved it. I’m really curious how the Mayo taste.
Another one of my subscribers likes it, I’ll make that the next thing I try!
Papi, what’s goin’ on, brodie?! Haha, surprised you don’t have an Affiliate link, you were definitely on your best behavior in this video, made me think you were fishing for a TRUFF commercial? LOL jkjk.
🤣🤣 wasn’t hot enough to get me swearing my butt off. Technically those Amazon links are affiliate for me but I didn’t realize they were even on Amazon when I filmed this 🤷🏻♂️
I've tried the mayo and it was good.
there a few other brands on amazon that are truffle based hot sauces the one I want to try next is Melinda's black truffle hot sauce it is only a 2 out of 5 heat level but will probably taste really good! I love their ketchup line all organic made I do however love the TRUFF stuff!
I hear Melinda’s makes good sauces!
Nice flex with the Tom Ford 😉 can’t wait to get my bottle (hot sauce not Tom ford lol)
😂it was just too similar!!
I could be wrong but are those wings from Publix by chance? I know the whole purpose was to show the hot sauces off, but I was the most shocked to find out how much your fragrance spray cost.
They sure are! It’s right down the road otherwise I’d have grabbed somewhere else. That giant bottle in particular was $900 but I’ve split most of it out for much more 😉
Looks bomb
I hope he didn't forget his pizza🍕
hahaha I should've stressed I was preheating the oven. I realized afterwards it looks like I left a pizza in there to burn up😂
Anyone know how does this sauce compare to the extreme karma hot sauce?
Would love to see more hot sauce reviews
I had fun doing this so you may very well get your wish😊
Luv those Publix wings
These "reviews" are obviously all paid for by the company that makes it. They should be sued for advertising this as a hot sauce. There is no pepper flavor, and absolutely zero heat. I do kinda enjoy the truffle flavor. I don't use social media, so I hadn't seen any marketing. I didn't pay for the bottle I have, so I'm not mad about the price either. It's just ridiculous to see all these people lying about a mediocre product.
I received these for free back when I filmed it. I was not paid to do this review. I genuinely enjoy the products. To each their own.
This in my opinion this was an honest review, great job on this one Papi, Hey how did you cook those wings? air fryer or the oven they look delicious.
Thanks John! Actually I’m guilty of buying these from Publix down the road 😂
@@PapiEats Ok, already cooked, Got it
@@johnmckenna4256 When I've been making them lately though I use the air fryer and while it's a royal PITA, they come out really well if you cook them long enough and drain them during the cook. I used to have a deep fryer...now THOSE were restaurant-quality wings...
@@PapiEats I just bought an air fryer, haven't done wings yet. but I hear the trick for super crispy is to dust them with baking soda.
Tastes like a spicy pasta sauce lol
They got all kinds of condiments
They sure do
👍
Truffle reminds me of earthy garlic. Love it .
Reviewing hot sauces i see. You got my undivided attention.
I might have to start doing that more often…
@@PapiEats yes there's lots of good ones to check out. Not just the ultra hot ones but the ones us mortals can enjoy.
I do like truffle-infused products like Olive Oil and cooking sauces but I just can't do heat. These would be a nightmare for my tummy. I'd be like Elaine from Seinfeld talking about hell....."and the heat! My God the heat! LOL. I like these comparisons though. Very interesting.
Oh Elaine😂 I feel like a TRUFF Mild would hit the spot…dunno how well it’d sell. I’d buy it 🤷🏻♂️
@@PapiEats I'd buy a mild for sure.
I didnt taste any earthiness out of the truff hot one. It tasted more sweet to me than anything.
I'm guessing the price tag on these sauces are what eludes other channels from trying - lol. Personally black pepper makes my eye water (yup I'm a loser) I would end up in the ER after trying just the HOT :-)
I’m not eating this stuff again. No offense but it’s the most disgusting thing I’ve ever had. To each their own I guess. This is the first time in my entire adult life that I’ve been grossed out by Popeyes and now I know what this flavor is.🤮
Hey to each their own man. I can’t stand the taste or smell of peanut butter, one of the most beloved toppings ever haha
Which one would you say is the hottest?
Wouldn’t even try it because no matter how much I liked it I’m not paying $15 for a bottle of hot sauce
