The Rub Hub's truffle range has three: a black truffle rub from New Zealand's Four Saucemen, a truffle butter finishing seasoning from Rum and Que, also made in New Zealand, and a smoked truffle hot sauce from Australia's Uncle Mungos.

Which truffle seasoning should I buy?
How to use truffle seasoning
Truffle aroma fades with high heat, so add it at the end. Dust the rub or finishing seasoning over a rested steak, hot chips, scrambled eggs or popcorn. Shake the sauce over pizza and pasta at the table. A little goes a long way. Every product page shows its Hub Heat rating out of 11.
Rum and Que's seasoning is tagged as containing gluten, milk and soy. Check the ingredient list on each product page; recipes can change. More earthy flavour in umami, mushroom, garlic and steak, or shop Four Saucemen and Uncle Mungos.
Frequently asked questions
How do you use truffle seasoning on steak?
Cook and rest the steak, then sprinkle truffle seasoning over it just before serving. The aroma is delicate and fades over high heat.
What is truffle salt good on?
Truffle salts and seasonings suit steak, hot chips, mashed potato, scrambled eggs, popcorn, pasta and risotto.
Is there a truffle hot sauce?
Yes. Uncle Mungos Smoked Truffle is a truffle hot sauce with cayenne, roasted garlic and onion, rated mild (2/11) on Hub Heat. It suits pizza, pasta and steak.
Should you cook with truffle seasoning or add it at the end?
Add it at the end. Truffle aroma is volatile, so finishing a dish with it keeps the flavour stronger than cooking it in.
