Truffles found on our farm are the result of hard work, passion and our overall philosophy of excellence.

While nothing beats fresh truffle, in Australia fresh truffles are only available from June to the end of August, however our high-quality range of truffle aroma enhanced products allows even the novice home cook to enjoy a truffle experience in their own home at any time of the year.
Our extensive recipe catalogue below, can help even the most basic home cook prepare an exquisite snack or meal.
Truffle Mushrooms
There’s something undeniably elegant about the earthy marriage of mushrooms and truffles. These truffle-stuffed mushrooms transform the humble fungi with a savoury pork filling infused with premier truffle pieces and their aromatic jus. The clever addition of fresh tomato slices on top adds vibrant colour and also serves the practical purpose of locking in moisture and driving the luxurious truffle flavour deeper into each bite. Perfect for special occasions or when you simply want to treat yourself to something extraordinary.

Truffle Tip 1
It’s best to crush Truffle with a fork to extract the most flavour. Using the fork breaks open the spores and liberates the notes of their perfume as well as creates different sizes that will excite your tastebuds while eating the dish.
Truffle Tips 2
A little-known fact about the Winter black truffle (Tuber Melanosporum) is that transferring the flavours from the truffle to the requires time and heat.
It’s common in restaurants to see Truffle sliced raw over the top of a dish. This is not the only way to use Winter black Truffle Tuber Melanosporum. The slicing of raw Truffle over a dish is special to only one truffle, the white truffle Tuber Magnatum from Alba.
Our truffles are already cooked and ready to be used anytime anywhere in any dishes.
