Truffles
We work with producers and collectors from all over the world while contributing to generate wealth in rural areas.
The crop
The life of a truffle is closely linked to that of the symbiotic tree with which it exists. The time to first harvest a truffle depends on the associated woody species. In places with jaras bushes it takes from two to three years, from four to five in the hazelnut and up to ten in oaks and holm oaks.
The environment
Climatology
Truffles need cool and rainy weather. The average temperature of the warmest months is 20º C (68 F) and the average temperature of the coldest months is 2º C (35.6 F). Electric storms have a positive impact on the growing lobes.
Production areas
Truffels prefer rocky and calcareous soils, high altitude and cold climates.
Where it is collected
When the mycelium of the truffle establishes itself and takes over a piece of land, there are obvious symptoms on the surface with the, appearence of the so-called bare (“calveros”) or burnt areas.
Nature and Health – Probiotic
Truffles benefit the tree by contributing phosphorous salts, at their maturation point, in a similar way they add salts and intestinal equilibrium to humans

Why to choose our truffles?
We are your truffle hunter
Our expertise lies in selecting growers and collectors worldwide who follows good practices:
– It is not the same to get truffles from the soil to a refrigerator than to the collector’s bag.
– It is not the same to clean the truffles by hand with cold water at 1ºC (34 F) and a handy soft brush, than with a shower with an uncontrolled temperature and a mechanical brush which can partially destroy the. peel.
We supply you all year round
We go wherever the truffles are. In the Northern hemisphere summer is winter in Australia and Chile where we work with selected truffle growers. When maturity is best we overbuy to freeze some truffles to be able to supply when truffles are naturally out of season.
Fresh truffles, always, if you plan 3 business days in advance.
Many buyers approach the growers during the season; the ones who pay less or big companies tend to get product 4-6 days old. We are regularly in the field to ensure freshness, and to avoid truffles that show signs of freeze, rot or worms.
