I'm a bit confused. Does this apply to absolutely all truffle oil? For years I have bought one particular type, which has the following list of ingredients: Extra virgin olive oil, 1% truffle juice from white truffle (Tuber Magnatum pico), 1% natural aroma, 1% truffle aroma. So it's supposed to contain both the real thing and truffle aroma. It costs like €11 for a 55 ml bottle. Is much of the flavour the taste of the real truffle it contains, or the truffle aroma that it also contains?

None of the taste you're experiencing is from truffles. The truffle piece and juice could be completely removed.

Worse, they're almost certainly lying: there's probably not truffle juice at all.

The oil? Probably mostly soybean.
