The fruits of the truffle mushroom do not protrude from the ground – to find them, truffle dogs are used. Incidentally, the famous truffle pig with its keen sense of smell has long since had its day: unlike the dog, the fruit itself tastes too good to freshlings in particular. Most importantly, they destroy the delicate fungal fibers when digging up the soil, and thus usually the chances of reproduction. The “Lagotto Romagnolo” is specially bred for truffle hunting; the dog locates the interesting spots and the truffle farmers collect them. In doing so, they must be careful not to scratch the precious mushrooms, or to scratch them too much, when digging them up.

A good nose, a lot of knowledge of nature and the farmers’ heart and soul therefore go into a successful truffle breeding! Yields per hectare are low, and therefore truffle mushrooms are a rare delicacy. They can also be harvested only at certain times. With us you will always find a hand-picked selection of the best truffles of the season: from the summer truffle (Tuber Aestivum) to the autumn truffle (Burgundy truffle) to the noble winter truffles, such as the Alba truffle (Tuber Magnatum) and the Périgord truffle (Tuber Melanosporum). Since their aroma is preserved only a few days after harvesting, we also offer them only freshly harvested. Our newsletter informs you regularly about the current availability.
