truffle hunting

There is a reason for the high price of the truffles. Truffle hunting is an old profession that is spread around the generations and each year each hunter is struggling to get the best harvest with the best  truffles. We work every day to find these underground mushrooms so you can enjoy and share them with your family.

Traditionally, it’s been female pigs whose snouts hunt out the mature fresh truffle by its smell, although these days, dogs are used by the truffle hunters more often.

Every type of truffle has it’s own shape, aroma, region and season of growing. It has to be near the living roots of specific trees such as the chestnut, oak, hazel, beech, red alder, pine, lime, hazelnut, pecan, and cottonwood, depending on which kind of truffle it is.

Usually the weight of each good truffle is around 20-50 grammes. (0,7 – 1,76 oz)

‘Truffles, of course, are not a vegetable… they are a miracle!’                                                                  -Andre Simon

World's Best truffles

According to our specialists

There are more than 100 varieties of truffles around the world. In this article we will try to guide you through the list of the most precious and valuable ones.

Only a few types of truffles are used in the preparation of luxurious meals and therefore the prices are quite high on these specific types. We have made our own measuring scale of how we see the best truffles in the world and of course we will have in mind the obvious reasons.

Truffles are underground mushrooms which grow underneath the earth surface and in order for them to be good they need a few things to be a part of someone’s luxurious dinner.

1. Truffle Aroma (★ would be the weakest aroma / ★★★★★ would be the strongest)

The aroma is the most important thing with these treasures. Every person is different, but the more intense and subtle aroma there is, the more we like them.

2. Truffle Taste (★ would be the weakest taste / ★★★★★ would be the strongest)

The taste of the truffles is quite often recognized as ‘’earthy’’ and ‘’nutty’’, but there are a few exceptions as well. For example the tuber Mesentericum is quite intense but it isn’t so much earthy than like a gas smell which is quite challenging to go through. It is quite the experience to try them out. Also the tuber Magnatum pico is very gentle and also strong but in a way more subtle way than the Mesentericum. That is why it is the highest valued truffle in the world. Also the most expensive one.

3. Truffle Price (★ would be the cheapest truffle / ★★★★★ would be the most expensive truffle)

The price of the truffles can vary a lot and it is mostly determined by its quality and rareness. You can easily check the prices of your truffles by simply clicking on our shop.

The most expensive truffle is the tuber Magnatum pico! It’s called the king of truffles and for a good reason. Who hasn’t heard of the precious white truffle?
