The best Black Truffles available anytime, anywhere.

Fresh Australian Black Winter Truffles have a dark Gleba (marbled interior) and a deeply intense aroma and flavour. Making them the most prized by Michelin chefs for their incredible taste and aroma. This variety of fresh truffle bring a huge depth of flavour and umami hit, and are amongst the best, strongest and most truffley variety of fresh truffle.

These Black Winter Truffles are sourced from the world-renowned truffle paradise near Manjimup, Western Australia, grown during their winter time. Resulting in the world’s best truffles being available to us in the UK between June and September.

Black Winter Truffles have a complex and deep flavour profile, with notes of heavy mushroom, chocolate, liquorice, and strawberries. Because of this, they are hugely versatile and pair incredibly well with any savoury, dairy, or starch based dish.

Our long-term partner there has 264 acres of Truffiere, boasting an incredible 17,000 trees within their own microclimate. This results in super-fertile soils and, unlike many other producers in the region; a naturally water rich eco-system. They are the first producer to adopt a holistic approach to Regenerative Farming, focusing on soil health and the benefits to the trees – ultimately resulting in more aromatic truffles.

Caring for Australian Black Winter Truffles

BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE

When you receive your fresh Australian Black Winter Truffles; remove them from the vacuum sealed packaging. They need to breathe and the poor things will suffocate if kept in this sealed packaging for more than two days. 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 your truffles air-tight, sitting on and surrounded by paper towels. Keep below 6 degrees. Allow them to breathe, out of the box, and change the surrounding paper daily, to ensure they are kept dry and natural gases can dissipate.

Our Fresh Australian Black Winter truffles are delivered in specialist insulated packaging. This ensures they maintain a constant low temperature and that they arrive to you as fresh and tasty 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.
