Choose a product according to the required presentation, preparation method and quantity. Current prices, pack sizes, availability and product-specific specifications are shown on the individual product pages.

Available Fresh and Frozen Black Truffles

Fresh Tuber melanosporum may be available as EXTRA Grade, A Grade, B Grade, slices and pieces. Frozen products may be available as A Grade, B Grade, C Grade and pieces.

Commercial grade primarily describes size, shape, wholeness, surface condition and visual presentation. It does not identify a different species or guarantee the aroma intensity of an individual truffle. Consult each product page for the exact grade specification, pack size, storage requirements, country of origin and current availability.

Choose the Format for the Required Use

• Fresh whole truffles: suitable when natural whole presentation, slicing or table-side shaving is required.
• Fresh slices: prepared for convenient portioning and applications where a consistent sliced format is preferred.
• Fresh pieces: suitable for chopping and preparations where whole visual presentation is not required.
• Frozen whole truffles: a practical option for cooked preparations and use outside the fresh harvest period.
• Frozen pieces: suitable for sauces, fillings, compound butter and other cooked applications.

Product format should be selected from the intended result rather than price or appearance alone. For a detailed explanation of commercial grading, use the Fresh Truffle Grades Explained guide.

Availability and Ordering

Fresh Tuber melanosporum is seasonal, and actual availability depends on the current harvest, origin, maturity and incoming supply. The availability status shown on each product page should be used when ordering. Frozen products provide additional options outside the fresh harvest period.

For other species currently available as fresh products, browse Fresh Truffles in Season. For the full frozen range, use the Frozen Truffle Collection. Restaurants and food manufacturers can also browse the B2B Truffle Collection.

Express Delivery in Insulated Packaging

Fresh truffles are individually inspected and prepared for dispatch in food-safe protective packaging inside insulated packaging with cooling materials. Available delivery services, shipping charges and estimated transit times depend on the destination and selected service and are shown at checkout.

Insulated packaging helps protect products during transit but does not constitute continuously monitored refrigerated transport or a guaranteed cold chain. Frozen products must be stored and handled according to the instructions on the individual product page and packaging.
