Fresh Black Truffles - the 2009 season starts here.
The 2009, Western Australia, Black Truffle season promises to be the best season yet for the Wine and Truffle Company.
Here are the details and an open letter from the Wine and Truffle Company, inviting chefs and restaurateurs to access and enjoy this wonderful product.
We're just a month away from being able to deliver our rare 'Tuber Melanosporum French Black Truffle'
from Manjimup, Western Australia. The 13,000 Hazelnut and Oak trees have performed beautifully over the
last nine months and we are expecting our largest harvest ever.
The 2009 truffle winter harvest will begin at Hazel Hill late May and run through to the mid/end of August.
This letter is to inform you of the sales and distribution we have in place to ensure you get the freshest
truffles and the best service possible.
We have adopted a "farm gate to plate" approach. This means....you will be in direct contact with the
truffle hunter, Damon Boorman, which is intended to improve communications and ensure you get the
freshest truffles possible through our fast, reliable priority freight service.
Every morning during harvest Damon and a team of trained dogs will walk the truffiere at Hazel Hill in
search of the ripest truffles. Once the days' truffles are found, they are taken to our processing centre for
cleaning, weighing, grading and dispatch, guaranteeing the freshest and best quality truffles.
You should fax or email your orders directly to Damon, We will be able to track your order from the farm all
the way to your restaurant door, you will receive your truffles within 36 hours of them being found.
The Wine & Truffle Co advantage:
o The Wine & Truffle Co is the largest producer of French Black Truffle in the southern
