Be Be-Truffled!
Truffles are a sought-after ingredient
for chefs and the foodies, but their
cost is often prohibitive for the
average food budget. Italian brand Be
Truffle is on a mission to change this,
by introducing a range of trufflebased
products designed to appeal
to a much wider audience, making it
easy to add some truffle flavour to a
range of dishes.
Be Truffle offers a 'truffle take' on
traditional British favourites, injecting
a dash of truffle into everyday
sauces and condiments such as
mayonnaise, ketchup, BBQ sauce and
mustard. The collection includes an
assortment of truffle infused sauces
such as Truffle Teriyaki, Truffle Soy
Sauce, Truffle Ponzu Sauce and the
unique BeTruffle Sauce, alongside
affordable traditional truffle products
such as truffle honey, olive oil, butter
and salt.
Use to add a burst of flavour to a
whole host of meals from pasta and
soups, to marinades, pizza toppings
or even ice cream, Be Truffle is
setting out to become the latest store
cupboard essential! The ultimate
umami fusion food, truffles sit well
within a whole range of cuisines from
Indian to Chinese, South East Asian
to European, helping to transform a
dish, whatever the cooking style.
The Be Truffle range starts at
£2.50 and is available from the Be
Truffle website. All products are
Vegetarian Society approved.
