    1. sometimes fancy — but only if you want them to be.

      This is so untrue. They are ALWAYS fancy. When has anyone ever seen a truffle used in a dish and not thought it made the dish more bougie???

    2. even offers anti-inflammatory and antibacterial benefitss among various other effects that can strengthen one’s immune system and physical wellbeing.

    3. truffle risotto, truffles in soups, truffle ice cream, truffles with polenta — truffle everything.

      They are trying to make truffle seem like it's a staple food. It's really only a staple food for those who are bougie.

    4. like this Black Truffle Pomodoro topped with some parmesan cheese for an easy, luxurious pasta.

      TRUFF wants the truffle products to be more accessible. They do this by infusing their products instead of selling whole truffles. They spread out one truffle among multiple products to increase supply, seemingly lower their own cost, and increase demand (hopefully).

    5. TRUFF uses real truffles along with olive oil to produce a truffle oil that tastes like you’re eating them fresh.

      TRUFF is talking crap about other companies that "artificially produce truffle taste with chemicals," which their products are made with actual truffles and oils. Real truffle means higher cost though. At the end of the day, people are buying from TRUFF to elevate their dishes to make them seem more fancy.

    6. truffle recipes that don’t need a hefty price tag but are still just as delicious? Truffle products like sauces and oils are a great way to use truffles as an ingredient without worrying about your credit card charges.

      Truff wants people to be more willing to buy their products since it's cheaper. But, how much truffle really is in their product? Someone should do the math. I'm sure they are still making a bunch of profit off of their product.

    7. it’s simpler and more affordable to buy truffles in the form of truffle oils or sauces like our Spicy Mayo.

      This company is marketing their products as being the "better buy" of truffles since it's truffle infused sauces, making the cost less.

    8. Alba truffles are one of the most expensive truffles in the world, so if you’re really looking to flex, scoop up a few of these or find them mixed in something more affordable, like an oil or sauce.

      KEY IDEA: This is a prime way that companies market truffles. "...if you're really looking to flex..." explains that truffles are directly used to show off wealth. People play them off as a delicacy and a yummy food, yet in reality people just want more power and clout from truffles.

    9. They’re multicolored and white on the inside with a black exterior.

      Truff company is trying to show their knowledge by giving mini bios of truffles (the more important ones).

    10. what you see in nice restaurants; the picturesque grated black truffle slices on top of a lovely dish like spaghetti.

      This is definitely what I think of also. This shows that truffles have a reputation to uphold as being a prime example of luxury. People associate truffles with money, luxury, and status.

    11. also subvarieties that have their own unique features.

      The more that they paint truffles to be rare and "one of a kind," the more demand will come from the public.

    12. different flavor profiles of this incredible delicacy!

      The word "delicacy" is used often to describe truffles in order to make them sound more rare and precious.

    13. These animals sniff truffles out from beneath the roots of a host tree, helping humans gather enough truffles to feed our hearts' desires.

      Animals (pigs and dogs mainly) are used as tools to find the truffles since they are the only ones who can locate them through their use of scent. People are taking advantage of the supply of truffles and using animals to fulfill their greed.

    14. they need host trees to sustain themselves. This hides them from the human eye and makes them more difficult to find.

      They grow underground and utilize a tree as their "host" since they don't have stems. They are hidden beneath the ground, making it a challenge to find them.

    15. While truffles are international, the most popular truffles today are from countries in Europe, such as Italy and France.
