Trying Truffle Oil

Since I never really taste the real thing (Truffle), I can't said if it the real thing when they put in these oil. One major reason it that very expensive to buy (the real thing; Fresh Truffle from Europe). Well I read most of these are artificial flavor infuse in the oil while very few are the real thing; not that I care since I'm just curious on tasting it and not caring at all if it real or not. That just me.

Will highlight as the following on what stated on the ingredient label:
Truffle and Truffle Flavor: Orange 
Truffle Flavor: Yellow


Tartufi: [Translated from Italian to English] Truffle
