OUT OF SEASON – Fresh English Black Autumn Truffles (Tuber Uncinatum / “Burgundy” Truffles)
£35.00 – £207.00
Description
Our fresh English Black Autumn Truffles are sourced wild from 3 counties of the UK, and delivered to us several times per week. Our team of dedicated hunters source them from secret locations in Wiltshire, Hampshire and Dorset.
European (Italian, French, Eastern European) Truffles have struggled this season. There has been a very serious drought across mainland Europe’s truffle regions during all of the Summer. By contrast, the UK has had a wetter, cooler climate this summer. The result is British Autumn Truffles that are better than any coming from the continent.
Black Autumn Truffles (Tuber Uncinatum – sometimes called “Burgundy” Truffles) have a lovely nutty, earthy and mushroomy aroma with hints of warmth and chocolate. Their caramel flavour has hints of garlic, hazlenut and woodland musk.
The interior is usually a caramel to milk chocolate colour. The surface of the fresh Black Autumn Truffle is brown to black with small pyramidal protrusions and craters. Beautiful to behold. This hard exterior can be removed with a pairing knife, as it can be slightly bitter but this is not necessary when shaving or grating. Grate or shave fresh Autumn Truffles as thin as possible over hot, buttery, savoury autumnal dishes. Dairy, mushrooms, carbohydrate, and white meat are all delicious pairings.

Caring for your fresh English Black Autumn Truffles
BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE – Remove them from the vacuum sealed packaging.
They need to breathe and will suffocate if kept in this sealed packaging for more than two days. Fresh Black Autumn Truffles will last up to 14 days if cared for and stored properly. Store them air-tight, sitting on paper towels. Keep below 6 degrees. Allow the fresh truffles to breathe, and change the surrounding paper daily, to ensure the fresh truffles are kept dry.
All our fresh truffles, including these black truffles are delivered in specialist insulated packaging. This maintains a constant low temperature. This ensures they arrive to you as fresh and aromatic as possible.
We suggest you do not store your fresh truffle with rice. This will draw the flavour and aroma from the fresh truffle.

Satisfaction Guaranteed
Every fresh truffle is individually quality checked and graded to ensure it reaches you in optimum condition. As such there may be small “nicks” cuts, or notches on the exterior of the truffle; created during quality testing or to remove natural damage.

Great prouct. Excellent customer service!
Excellent service very fresh truffles. Flavour was very delicate and not as strong as expected, but delicious nonetheless!
Great quality truffles
Well packaged and promptly delivered. Good condition truffle. A beautiful thing really. Great service. No complaints at all. Only point would be that, it was extremely mild, almost lacking in flavour…nice to try, but I shall revert back to ‘shock horror’ truffle oils and other cheaper products for that deep, trufflely hit.
I am so pleased with my order, on time, well packed along with a QR code for instructions on how to store them, perfect.
But most importantly they were so fresh and delicious…..
This my second purchase from you and it won’t be my last……
Thankyou
Really nice!
Excellent speedy delivery, thank you so much. I should also mention that the truffles were excellent too. Served on top of seared venison loin
Thank you again.
I have nothing against the truffle itself. It arrived fresh, in very good condition, everything as advertised. It was the first time for me trying a fresh truffle after using pastes in the past.
I was underwhelmed to be honest, maybe its my lack of ability to appreciate it but I would not buy again 🙂 seems like fresh truffle is just overhyped. It gave food earthy taste (which I like) but that’s it. Nothing special.
Lovely truffle, well packaged and arrived very promptly. The best place to buy truffles!
Great product, competitive price and great service / delivery etc Ill be back.
