The French black truffle is the fruiting body of the fungus Tuber melanosporum. This fungus forms a symbiotic relationship with the roots of oak and hazel trees. The edible portion, or truffle, is harvested in winter once it has matured. The use of the French black truffle is limited only by the imagination of the chef. It is used as a flavouring (similar to a herb) in a multitude of dishes such as, veal, soup, fish, shellfish, game, rice and salads.
Truffle season is from late June to early September. During the harvest period Perigord Truffles of Tasmania supply truffles direct to individuals to enjoy in their homes through Australia Post Express Post Service. The truffles are delivered within 24 hours of harvest to most Australian towns and cities.
Private Retail Sales: Orders can be made via the website.
