Truffles are a decadent treat that can greatly improve the flavor profile of many dishes. Their pungent, earthy taste and aroma make for a unique experience that isn’t easily replicated. Unfortunately, their overall scarcity and the work required to “hunt” and forage them means that pure truffles can be quite expensive.
The good news is that you don’t have to be a truffle hunter or go to a five-star restaurant to enjoy their flavor. There are a variety of truffle mayonnaises available that include real or artificial truffle flavoring and work great on sandwiches, dips, or a variety of dishes.
Most people think truffle mayo is only for sandwiches, but we think they’re way more versatile than that! Check out our fave pasta recipes using truffle mayo:
Read on for our favorite truffle mayonnaises currently on the market.
1. Truff Mayonnaise and Spicy Mayonnaise
Truff is one of the finest purveyors of truffle-based condiments, and their Truff Mayonnaise and Spicy Truff Mayonnaise are at the top of my list as favorites. Since Truff uses real truffles as well as truffle oil concentrate, you get some amazing truffle flavor in these products. Made with organic eggs, soybean oil, and black winter truffles, Truff Mayo is a great addition to your BLT’s or even as a base for an amazing sauce.
Did we also mention that they have a spicy version? With the Spicy Truffle Mayo, you get an extra kick thanks to the addition of red jalapenos. The jalapenos provide some subtle heat that plays well with the rich, decadent flavor of the truffles and eggs. Again, this can bring your sandwich (or pasta) game to the next level or even works as a delicious dip for French fries.

2. Truffle Hunter Black Truffle Mayonnaise
With real European Black Truffles, Truffle Hunter’s mayonnaise is one of the best on the market. The truffle flavor is noticeable but mellow, and won’t drown out the creaminess of the mayo, which is made with cage-free eggs and grapeseed oil. Truffle Hunter uses some of the highest quality ingredients you can find in any mayo, which makes sense when you’re going to be combining it with something as luxurious as truffles.
You may even find it difficult not to just spoon this into your mouth right out of the jar, but it works best as a sandwich spread or a dip for chips. You can also make some delectable dressings and sauces using this product as the base.
For vegans or vegetarians, Truffle Hunter even has a tasty Black Truffle Mayonnaise that is free of any animal products! They still use high-quality grapeseed oil and real truffles, but they substitute aquafaba and soy milk for the eggs, giving it the same creamy texture and amazing taste that is suitable for any diet!

Spread this on your favorite everyday sandwiches and burgers or make a decadent potato salad for your next cookout. You really can’t go wrong with this fantastic mayo.

4. Just Truffle Mayo
Just Truffle Mayo is one of the easier-to-find truffle mayonnaise products on the market. It might not be as luxurious as some of the previous offerings, but it is still a solid option, especially for the price and availability. What makes this unique is that it is a vegan-friendly mayo, thanks to the use of canola oil and xanthan gum rather than eggs. You don’t need to worry about sacrificing flavor or texture here, as this is still a rich and creamy mayonnaise.
Just Truffle Mayo doesn’t use whole real truffles, but it does use a truffle oil that is extracted from dehydrated white truffles. Because white truffles are more pungent than black truffles, you’ll get a pretty good infusion of flavor, but not as much nuance due to the fact that whole truffles are not used.

There is a nice creamy mouthfeel and plenty of truffle taste, making it a fantastic option for sandwiches, salads, and a variety of other dippable foods. The only allergens included in the ingredient list are eggs and mustard, so this is a highly accessible mayo that should work well for most people.

Use this light mayonnaise on heavy meats, big sandwiches, and as a base for your salads, and all of your dishes will be sure to impress.

7. Stonewall Kitchen Truffle Aioli
Stonewall Kitchen uses a combination of real truffles and truffle concentrate to put together a solid, affordable aioli with a range of complex notes and a very nice texture. Since this is an aioli, it contains garlic, which may be desirable for fans of the pungent bulb. The combination of truffles and garlic may sound strong but Stonewall finds a way to keep the flavor subtle and pleasant.
As with the other products, this works well on sandwiches or as a dip, but it can even be used in marinades to make delightful meat and veggie dishes with a unique twist. With this in your pantry, you’ll always have a flavorful ingredient to apply to pretty much any dish you can think of.
