It is olive oil and "Truffle Aroma"
Just so that you know what you are buying - the ingredients on the back are clearly shown to be olive oil and "truffle aroma". As another reviewer said - this is olive oil and chemicals. It's very disappointing to have paid this much for a wee little bottle (and it is wee!) of olive oil and chemicals.

Not bad, but it is all chemical, so don't use much
We use this, and in very small quantities it can add a nice overtone, but keep in mind this is all chemicals and olive oil. Natural truffles play no part in its manufacture, so anything more than a touch can get overtly metallic and chemical tasting.

Good things come in small packages
I bought this yesterday at the same price from a gourmet wine-country grocery store, and while it is small, the flavor and scent are rich and heavy. I'm going to use it in a vinaigrette tonight. I've seen much larger bottles of truffle infused grapeseed oil also which tasted just as good, so it wouldn't hurt to shop around if you can wait (I couldn't-- there's a truffled lobster risotto recipe I've been wanting to try for months).
