Australian Fresh Black Winter Truffles

The best Fresh 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 professional Chefs for their incredible taste and aroma. This variety of fresh truffle brings a huge depth of flavour and umami hit, and are amongst the best, strongest and most truffley variety of fresh truffle.

Our 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.

Fresh 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.

How to Store and Care for Australian Fresh Black Winter Truffles

Step 1: Unpack Immediately

Remove your fresh truffles from the vacuum-sealed packaging as soon as they arrive.

Truffles are living fungi, which means they need to breathe. If left in sealed packaging for more than two days, they will begin to spoil due to lack of air circulation.

Step 2: Proper Storage

Place the truffles in an air-tight container lined with dry paper towels. Store them below 6°C, ideally in the fridge. Allow the Truffle to air-dry each day, ensuring all surface moisture has evaporated. Replace the paper towels daily to keep moisture levels down and ensure the truffles stay dry and fresh. If cared for properly, fresh Black Winter Truffles can last up to 10 days.

Pro Tip: Never store fresh truffles with rice. Although it’s a common myth, rice will actually draw out their delicate aroma and flavour.

We individually check and grade each truffle for quality before dispatch. Minor nicks, notches, cuts or surface marks may be present—these result from natural foraging or quality testing and do not affect the flavour or freshness.
