DIRECTOR OF SALES,

ABOUT TRUFF

TRUFF is a premium truffle-infused condiments brand born at the intersection of heat and flavor. In 2015, TRUFF co-founders built the popular food and lifestyle Instagram account @sauce. Just 2 years later, in 2017, TRUFF co-founders launched their first viral product, TRUFF Original Hot Sauce, which catapulted to success when Oprah selected it as one of her Favorite Things. After six years on Oprah's Favorite Things list and several groundbreaking new hot sauce flavors, TRUFF has become one of the fastest growing brands in the hot sauce category. Over the last few years, TRUFF has built on its unique flavor profile to launch new products in complementary condiment categories including pasta sauce, mayo, oil, and seasonings. TRUFF's uniquely premium taste and aroma amplify the flavor experience of everyday dishes to make every day a culinary moment.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
