Caring for Black Winter Truffles
BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE
When you receive your fresh truffles; remove them from the vacuum sealed packaging.
Truffles need to breathe. The poor things will suffocate if kept in this sealed packaging for more than two days. However, Fresh Black Winter Truffles will last up to 14 days if cared for and stored properly, although the aroma and flavour will gradually dissipate. Store them air-tight, sitting on and surrounded by paper towels. Keep them below 6 degrees. Take them out of the box, and change the surrounding paper daily, to ensure they are kept dry and natural gases can dissipate.
All our fresh truffles are delivered in specialist insulated packaging. This ensures they maintain a constant low temperature and they arrive to you as fresh as possible. We suggest that you do not store your fresh truffle in rice, as this will draw the aroma and flavour from the fresh truffle.
Take a look here for our full blog post on how best to care for fresh truffles.
Satisfaction Guaranteed
Every fresh truffle is individually quality checked and graded. This ensures they reach you in optimum condition. As such there may be very small “nicks” or notches on the exterior of the truffle; created during quality testing.

Always a pleasure buying truffles from you. Without a doubt some of the best truffle that you can find on the net, so fresh and great value for money, thank you.
This was the first time I’ve purchased fresh truffles online and they were superb, met all my expectations, and they arrived in perfect condition.
Bought as present, was delayed at customs but I was kept informed and the truffle was wrapped well and chilled when it arrived. I ordered 50gms which turns out to be a lot of truffle to get through by one person in a couple of days as per advice regarding freshness. Next time I will consider the 30gm option.
Just amazing!
Great service from the truffle company. I asked for the truffles to be delivered on a specific day, and they were. Came iced and vac packed. Full of flavour and as stiff as a board. Perfect.
Disappointingly flavourless. Arrived perfectly and smelled beautiful, but no flavour.
Good quality truffle and excellent taste.
Very prompt.
I only ordered one black truffle for a special dinner and had found three providers in London. I called the truffle company first as I wanted to enquire about next day delivery and spoke to the owner Russ, who was really knowledgeable and super helpful. Afterwards I read about his story opening the company and I decided without hesitation to place the order.
AND it didn’t disappoint, the truffle was large, with a wonderful scent and very fresh. Amazing !!! and you have a repeat customer for sure! If you are reading this review don’t hesitate order now and enjoy.
