After a cold beginning to July with plenty of frosts to help ripen and sweeten our truffle, we are in full harvest mode. Wonderful, aromatic, top quality truffles are being harvested from our Appleby soils and delivered direct to market. Contact us by email to order your truffles or fresh truffle butter.
Several times a week we update truffle availability for that week to ensure you only get the best fresh 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.
2021 New Zealand truffle harvest runs from early June through until mid/late August.
