Aiming to create a hot sauce that is a perfect balance of elegant and edgy, TRUFF is a brand producing a truffle-infused hot sauce that is sure to elevate any meal. The sauce is described by the brand as being hearty in nature, with a texure "more akin to Sriracha than Tabasco.' The sauce is built on a traditional base of red pepper and vinegar, but is given an unexpected earthy finish with the infusion of black truffle.

The elevated hot sauce boasts a sleek bottle as its packaging, with a gem-inspired lid meant to represent a black truffle. TRUFF is based in Huntington Beach, California and is available in a two-pack on the Food52's online shop.
