Grades of Truffles
Extra grade - the premium grade of black truffle. They have a good regular shape and are sufficiently mature to have the characteristic fully mature aroma, taste and colour. They would be perfect to present at any table in the world.
First grade may have an irregular shape, immature colour (early in the season) or have some minor surface damage caused during harvesting, but otherwise are of high quality - have a good taste and aroma characteristics of the black truffle - making them perfect for kitchen preparation.
Large. Every now and then we have very large truffles of over 500 grams. To ensure the centre meets our quality standards, we prefer to cut them. However in the event of a larger truffles being unearthed we will email you a photo so you may decide to auction or use it as a fundraiser or special occasion as a whole truffle.
Smalls and pieces. The truffle has good aroma consistent with other grades and are suitable for product manufacture or home consumption where size and shape is of no concern.
The season runs from mid June until September depending upon seasonal conditions.
