Just because something is extracted from petroleum doesn't mean it must always taste or smell like gas. We have plenty of synthetic compounds that taste nothing like it at all.
That said, it's very ugly that this happens, I hope the EU will start protecting the term truffle.

- jagged-chisel 4y agoArticle says it's the same compound. So truffles also smell like gas.
- advisedwang 4y agoTruffles have hundreds of chemicals in them, it's a complex aroma. Truffle flavour is one single note from this, usually at a very high intensity. It's a different experience. (note that this is true for many artificial flavors, there's lots of esters often known as "pear" "banana" "strawberry" etc but as I'm sure you are aware artifical banana candy is a long long way from tasting like an actual banana.
