The Magic Ingredient To Transform Your Dishes
If we were to ask you to try our Award Winning Truffle Butter, what would you say?
If you need a little convincing, allow us to indulge ourselves with a little self-promotion!
As you may be aware, the market is filled with all kinds of truffle ingredients and we wouldn’t be surprised if you opted for one that doesn’t stretch your grocery budget, however, beware of imitations!
We're on a mission to show the world that if it says truffle on the jar, it must be truffle in the jar and furthermore, companies need to focus on quality. After all this natural treasure needs to maintain its integrity to truly deliver on flavour!
In this week's blog post, we tell you a little bit about our truffle butter and why we (and some noted food judges) believe TRUBEL is the best!

Quality First
We know quality wins hands down, so our promise to customers is to only ever source the best, so you can experience the best.
Our truffle butter is no exception.
We ventured out to the best truffle regions in Italy and partnered with the highly regarded truffle hunters in Marche and Umbria to create a unique culinary experience, that beats all other truffle butters, using the outstanding White Truffle (AKA Alba Truffle).
The Queen Of Truffles!
The white truffle is the most highly prized truffle with a dominant cheesy flavour. We chose it for the umami flavour experience it consistently delivers.
The flavour and aroma are unrivalled; most other truffle brands focus on volume using cheaper alternatives that don’t compare on flavour.
These companies opt for cheaper White Spring Truffle and label it as "White Truffle", when it's not. They've also been seen to use cheap Summer Truffle and label it "Black Truffle", when again it's not.
It Starts With The Best Butter:
Using Hassibo’s mum’s traditional recipe, we create our own clarified butter from fresh British cream. It’s 100% butter fat content with no milk fat. Fat provides great flavour and mixes extremely well with the truffles.
You’ll find that most other brands use regular butter!
Artisanal Methods
The creamy butter is liquid gold when melted and the truffles are blended in by hand. Essentially every jar is carefully mixed by our team who never shortcut the process or add preservatives and emulsifiers. It takes a full day for the butter to be mixed manually! A labour of love!
Small Batch Production
All our butters are made in batches of no more than 600. This guarantees that attention to detail is maintained throughout. It’s important for us to get everything right for our customers from clarifying, to the truffle selection, blending and sealing.

Is White Truffle Butter Unhealthy?
Agreed, our white truffle butter has a high fat content, however, dieticians argue that clarified butter or ‘ghee’ is much better for our health than regular butter and better still healthier than artificial fats and spreads.
Truffle butter is perfect for the Paleo and Keto diets as it contains no carbs and high in natural fat.
