Truffle Season

The black truffle (Tuber Melanosporum) is found in Spanish markets between November and March, reaching its peak of flavor and aroma in January and February. Its quality and rarity make it a very valuable product, known as the "black diamond", due to its harvesting in a specific season of the year. Other truffle varieties, such as the white truffle (Tuber Magnatum) and the summer truffle (Tuber Aestivum), have their own seasons, which determines when chefs can use these products in their dishes.

Why is it so highly valued?

The black truffle is known as an authentic gastronomic luxury, but what makes its price so variable? It all starts with factors such as its seasonal availability, the specific variety, and the place where it is acquired. In addition, the size of each truffle also plays an important role: larger and more uniform truffles tend to be more highly valued.

Our coveted Tuber Melanosporum, also called black winter truffle, is only harvested between November and mid-March. During these months, its freshness and quality reach their peak, making it an unrepeatable product. Out of season, what you find are frozen or preserved options, which cannot compete with the aroma and texture of a freshly harvested truffle.

If you are looking for excellence, be sure to choose authentic Tuber Melanosporum. No other variety offers the same level of depth of flavor and aroma.
