ABOUT TRUFF 

TRUFF is a premium truffle-infused condiments brand born at the intersection of heat and flavor. In 2015, TRUFF co-founders built the popular food and lifestyle Instagram account @sauce. Just 2 years later, in 2017, TRUFF co-founders launched their first viral product, TRUFF Original Hot Sauce, which catapulted to success when Oprah selected it as one of her Favorite Things. After six years on Oprah's Favorite Things list and several groundbreaking new hot sauce flavors, TRUFF has become one of the fastest growing brands in the hot sauce category. Over the last few years, TRUFF has built on its unique flavor profile to launch new products in complementary condiment categories including pasta sauce, mayo, oil, and seasonings. TRUFF's uniquely premium taste and aroma amplify the flavor experience of everyday dishes to make every day a culinary moment. 

TRUFF has also become a major player in retail, now carried in well over 15,000 doors across the country. That retail growth is something we are incredibly proud of. And as we continue building on that foundation, we are just as excited to revamp the digital origins and DNA of what made TRUFF accelerate in the first place. This is a brand that was built online, and we are ready to bring that energy back in a big way.
