Fresh Black Périgord Truffles (Tuber Melanosporum)

The highly sought-after Black Périgord Truffle (Tuber Melanosporum), also known as the French Black Truffle, is renowned for its stronger aroma and richer flavor compared to summer truffles. Due to their limited supply and high demand, fresh black truffles are rarely available in the U.S.A. Experience the smoky aroma and bold flavor of this exquisite delicacy, the ultimate addition to fine dining entrées. As the season draws to a close, our black winter truffles are in limited supply — get them before they’re gone!

Key Characteristics:

  • Species: Tuber Melanosporum, native to Southern Europe
  • Aroma & Taste: Smoky, earthy, with hints of strawberries, wet earth, dried fruit, and cocoa. The flavor is slightly peppery and bitter when heated.
  • Storage: Best stored wrapped in paper towels in the refrigerator at 37.5°F (3°C) to preserve the aroma and flavor. The product typically lasts for 1-2 weeks.

Important Information:

  • Fresh Truffles: Available seasonally, from December to March. The strongest aroma and flavor are typically found in January and February.
  • Shipping: Orders processed within 24 hours and shipped via Priority Overnight. Orders must be received by 12 PM EST (Monday-Thursday) to ship the next day. Orders placed after the deadline or on weekends will ship the following Monday or Tuesday.
  • Shipping Location: Truffles are shipped in an insulated box from New Jersey.

Note: To ensure the highest quality experience, we recommend consuming the truffles soon after receiving them.

Average but not excellent

First I want to say that every experience I have had with caviar*up until now has been flawless. I do not consider this to be a reflection of the business, but it is a reflection of this particular order experience.
In advance of Valentine’s Day and my wife’s birthday I ordered caviar and truffles to be delivered for the weekend. The caviar and all of the accompanying pants arrived as expected on Friday. The black truffles however did not arrive until the following Monday. Upon receipt, they were as expected in their appearance, but the flavor was lacking. There’s nothing wrong with them, and they were still enjoyable, but they did not have the pungent aromatic properties I expected based on my past experience with black winter truffles.

All this being said, it will not preclude me from ordering again, but I will be sure to plan for them to arrive further in advance of when I plan to use them. Truffles on the Tuesday after Valentine’s Day just doesn’t have the same impact as truffles served with mushroom risotto and lamb for the special day…
