After a long hot dry summer followed by a handful of decent frosts to properly ripen and sweeten our truffle, we are harvesting! Wonderful, aromatic, top quality truffle are being harvested dug from our Appleby soils straight to you.
Several times a week we update truffle availability for that week to ensure you only get the freshest truffle, so it is worth checking back on a regular basis. We use an overnight delivery (But No rural delivery sorry) and dispatch Mondays – Thursday.
2020 New Zealand harvest runs June through till mid-August.
