Well, this is not a truffle paste or a truffle tapenade. This is a mixture of Champignon mushrooms, black olives, black truffles, olive oil, spices as mentioned on the items description. So, I think it is too pricey!That said it tastes wonderful and I would buy it again and again. :)Truffles are very flavorful and fragranced mushrooms for those of you wondering, so if you don't like mushrooms I am pretty sure you won't like truffles.I add this tapenade to my cooking (from meals to eggs), and I like to make a small sandwich sometimes, which my husband and I share. If we don't spoil ourselves now, when will we? ;)I recommend this item.
