Fresh truffles are prized fungi that grow underground near tree roots, mainly in France and Italy. Renowned for their aromatic and earthy flavor, they’re harvested by skilled truffle hunters and their trained dogs. Their short shelf life and unique taste make them a sought-after luxury ingredient in gourmet cuisine, where they’re shaved typically over pasta and rice.
About Our Fresh Truffles
We’ve been selling the world’s best fresh truffles online for over 20 years, and we take pride in the quality of our incredible gems. It’s an exciting time when a new season begins, and shipments of aromatic, delicious truffles start shipping out. In the winter months, we source out the fresh white truffles and winter black melanosporum truffles, making sure we only start selling them when the quality of these mushrooms is impeccable. During the summer, summer truffles arrive. Although less pungent than the winter variety, these are a great option to serve during the summer months, giving your warm-weather menu a luxurious upgrade.
Truffle seasons are divided into winter and summer, but this is not a calendar-type situation but rather a weather thing. An early start to cold temperature means an early winter season, which typically runs as early as September and as late as March. Whites are usually available earlier and their season ends earlier, while black winter truffles start arriving in November. The summer truffle season runs from late March through August.
