Fresh Black Autumn Truffles

Our Fresh Black Autumn Truffles come wild from the hills of Tuscany, Italy, and arrive at our doors four times per week. This frequent delivery keeps them exceptionally fresh – straight from the earth to us and then to you.

Also known as Tuber Uncinatum or “Burgundy Truffles,” Black Autumn Truffles offer a rich, nutty, earthy aroma with subtle notes of chocolate and warmth. Their caramel flavour carries gentle hints of garlic, hazelnut, and woodland musk.

Inside, the truffle reveals shades of caramel to deep chocolate. Its outer surface appears brown to black with small pyramidal bumps and craters – truly beautiful to behold. You can trim the firm exterior with a paring knife if you prefer, as it may taste slightly bitter, though this isn’t necessary when shaving or grating.

For the best flavour, shave or grate Fresh Autumn Truffles as finely as possible over hot, buttery, savoury autumnal dishes. They pair wonderfully with dairy, mushrooms, pasta, and white meats.

Use our Fresh Truffle Quantity Calculator to determine how much truffle you’ll need based on your dish and number of guests.

How to Store and Care for Fresh Black Autumn 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 Autumn 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.

Satisfaction Guaranteed

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.
