I added mine to pasta and rice dishes, and it was great. I would never expect a sauce to be spreadable. The taste was wonderful, and I'm sorry it's not available.

 Good flavor; difficult texture.Mar 08, 2011
By Greg
"Saganite"
I love the taste of truffles, and because they are too expensive and too evanescent to buy fresh very often, I have sought ways of obtaining the taste in ways that don't break the bank or go bad in three days. Truffle oil has been successful, as has FungusAmongUs Truffle Salt, 3.5-Ounce Jar, also from FungusAmongUs. I think this "Gatherer's Sauce" is the least satisfactory among those three options.
The sauce includes truffles--it's not clear the exact amount--and several other ingredients such as anchovy that mimic, complement, and stretch the truffle taste. And that taste is far from objectionable, having the tangy, earthiness of truffles gestured at strongly enough that one doesn't feel cheated by that aspect of the product. The let-down is almost entirely to do with the texture. To call it a sauce does violence to definition of "sauce," because sauces should flow or spread. This "sauce" does neither, and has roughly the texture of soggy mulch.
This is significant because I bought the Gatherer's Sauce to use primarily as a spread--a thin coating to a good ham in a sandwich, that sort of thing. I was expecting something approximating the consistency of coarsely ground mustard. No such luck. Rather than being spreadable, this "sauce" must be strategically dabbed on and tamped down to offer uniform coverage.
I wouldn't go so far as to say "definitely avoid," because despite my warning about the texture, the flavor is a welcome addition to so many foods, changing them from basic to damn-near elegant at a smear. But I await a product that manages to capture that unique piquancy with less compromise toward gloppy grittiness.
