Truffles International

T. melanosporum is a rare subterranean
mushroom growing on roots of trees in a
relationship referred to as mycorrhizal
symbiosis.

Truffles for the People

We grow French black truffles in hydroponics, then dry and mill them to a fine powder. Truffle powder is available to the home cook at an affordable price all year round.

Our truffles are organic and Kosher and have an earthy, mushroomy aroma, devoid of the unpleasant, sulfuric aroma of truffles harvested from the wild. They are an excellent flavor enhancer and can be used to transform a wide variety of foods ranging from desserts to main dishes.

Truffled Chocolate Products

Most people think only of chocolate when they hear the word, "truffles." Now mushroom lovers and chocolate lovers can both be content, with our truffled truffles and other delicious chocolate bars made with truffle powder.

Black Truffle Powder is Simple to Use

Truffle powder is very easy to use. The best results are obtained by using one teaspoon of truffle powder for every two cups. The powder is most effective when heated for a minute or so in cream, butter, oil, or fat before adding the other ingredients. Click here for a list of simple and delicious recipes.

Perfume
A new market is the use of truffles in the perfume industry, where they can be used to improve the persistence of perfume aroma. Beyond any culinary aspect of the cultured truffle, it was shown that an alcohol truffle extract is a very good "fixative" for perfume, producing exotic "sexy" aromas.

Aphrodisiac
Brillat-Savarin called the truffle "the diamond of the kitchen" and praised its aphrodisiacal powers. Romantic lore also commonly esteems chocolate as an aphrodisiac. Our truffled chocolate products combine the flavor and sensual power of both of these delicacies. Read more about the reputed aphrodisiac powers of truffles and chocolate here.
