Frequently asked questions
Here are a selection of our Frequently Asked Questions - to read more please visit our FAQ page
Where do you source your truffles?
We started our business by sourcing fresh truffles from one specific region in Central Italy, but experience has enabled us to understand that the finest truffles grow all over Europe and even further afield. We will source truffles from wherever the quality is at its best at any specific time. During last years season we have sourced truffles from France, Spain, Italy, UK, Australia and even New Zealand.
What determines the quality of truffles is a combination of the variety of truffle, the time of year, the macro and micro climatic conditions, and the skill of the local hunter.
Are truffles organic?
Truffles will only grow in pristine conditions; they will not tolerate any type of contamination that may explain why they are so rare and valuable.
However they cannot be sold as “Organic” unless the plantations or wild forests they are hunted from are certified as Organic.
Can I cook with your products?
Please take a look at the various recipes on our website.
Our products are incredibly versatile. In theory they are designed primarily as finishing products, a drizzle to finish and transform a dish.
But as you will find out, they can also be used as cooking ingredients.
How should I store my truffles?
Fresh Truffles are best eaten as soon as possible. When you receive your truffles, we suggest you immediately wrap them individually in kitchen paper and place in an air tight glass jar in the refrigerator until use.
Please don’t keep them for more than one week!
What wine do you recommend with fresh Truffles?
When eating fresh Truffles raw, we would recommend any full flavoured dry white wine, for example an Italian Pecorino, Verdicchio, or Falanghina. Alternatively try a new world Chardonnay or Viognier.
When eating cooked black autumn or winter Truffles, try a full flavoured lighter bodied red wine, maybe a Sangiovese, Grenache, or a new world Pinot Noir.
Good quality sparkling wine or Champagne is always a good match with fresh Truffles, and is superb with fresh Truffle canapes!
