Black Truffle Products

What are black truffles? 

Black truffles, scientifically known as Tuber melanosporum, are rare underground fungi that grow in symbiotic relationships with the roots of oak, hazel, and other trees in specific climates. Often called the "black diamonds" of the culinary world, these aromatic treasures are traditionally associated with France's Périgord region, as well as Italy and Spain.

Although it is a little-known fact, they are also native to Hungary, and a significant portion of the black truffles available in the UK comes from this geographically small but gastronomically mighty country.

Unlike mushrooms that grow above ground, truffles develop entirely underground. They must be carefully located using trained dogs or pigs that can detect their distinctive, intoxicating aroma through soil and leaf litter. The black truffles used in crafting our products are foraged by abandoned dogs trained by a dog charity for this unique task.

Why are black truffles expensive? 

Black truffles are one of the most exclusive culinary ingredients, renowned for their rarity. Unlike other luxury foods, truffles cannot be farmed in traditional ways – they require a specific combination of soil conditions, climate patterns, and symbiotic relationships that represent a true gift from Mother Nature.

This scarcity, combined with their unique ability to transform simple dishes into memorable experiences, justifies their position as one of the most treasured foods by chefs and home-cooking enthusiasts alike.

What are black truffle products?

Fresh truffles are harvested at peak ripeness to capture their authentic, intense aroma and rich, earthy taste with musky undertones.

The mushrooms are combined with premium-quality ingredients using bespoke recipes, which are designed to bring out the best in black truffles, allowing their natural flavour to shine through. 

Our exclusive range includes the following:

Whole Black Truffles: The finest fresh mushrooms are collected when they are most fragrant, and the entire pieces are naturally preserved in their juice to maximise their flavour.
