Tasmanian Truffles
Our Tasmanian truffles are grown among the Great Western Tiers, in the cleanest air in the world. This cool climate environment with some winter snowfall is ideal for the production of the highest quality black truffles. Tasmanian truffles are preferred by chefs across the globe as the cool growing conditions and long summer season produce a stronger and sweeter perfume. All truffles from Truffles of Tasmania are produced on our 50 hectare plantation outside Deloraine, Northern Tasmania.
First established in 2001, Truffles of Tasmania is Tasmania’s largest mature Truffle Farms producing high quality black truffles (Tuber Melanosporum). Our 50 hectare plantation contains English Oak Trees (Quercus Robur, deciduous) and Holm Oak Trees (Quercus Ilex, evergreen).
Tips for keeping truffles
Fresh Truffles
Truffles are best consumed fresh within 10 days. We prefer to store our truffles in a glass vessel, individually wrapped in paper towel to avoid moisture. Sometimes white mould can appear, brush off and wash under cold running water. Black truffles will keep for over one week if stored correctly. The key is to keep the truffle dry. Keep refrigerated.
Frozen Truffles
Keep the truffle frozen until ready to consume. Prepare the truffle best by allowing it to thaw in the refrigerator and use it immediately, otherwise shave frozen directly onto your meal.
Freeze Dried Truffle
Keep your freeze dried truffle fresh by keeping packaging airtight and sealed correctly. Avoid storing in direct sunlight or heat.
