In your truffle bag..., from passion, perfection grows, australia’s first, and finest, truffles., the first, and the finest.

One cold winter’s afternoon in 1999, Tim Terry harvested Australia’s first black truffle from the rich soil of his Deloraine farm. Since then, Tasmanian Truffles has become the country’s premium producer of exquisite black truffles.

World-class black truffles

Tasmanian Truffles is Australia’s premier producer of world-class black truffles and premium truffle products. Our dedication and expertise in producing exquisite truffle products is born out of decades of innovation and experience, and a drive to grow one of the world’s most celebrated ingredients.

Ideal Growing Conditions

Tasmania's cool climate, pure air and water and fertile soil create the perfect growing conditions for black truffles. On our family farm in Deloraine, at the foot of Tasmania’s Great Western Tiers, our truffles are nurtured and grown slowly and carefully in optimum conditions. They lie in the cool, fertile earth, nestled among the roots of our orchards, until they develop their full flavour and aroma, and are ready for harvest. 

Harvested with care and devotion

We unearth our truffles at the perfect moment, guided by the finely tuned senses of our highly trained truffle dog and chief hunter, Doug. Each truffle is gently lifted from the soil by hand – harvested with the same care and devotion that we apply to every one of our premium truffle products.

Tasmanian Truffles is about passion, the rewards of patience, and the pursuit of perfection.

Tasmanian Truffles

Our Tasmanian truffles are grown among the Great Western Tiers, in the cleanest air in the world. This cool climate environment with some winter snowfall is ideal for the production of the highest quality black truffles. Tasmanian truffles are preferred by chefs across the globe as the cool growing conditions and long summer season produce a stronger and sweeter perfume. All truffles from Truffles of Tasmania are produced on our 50 hectare plantation outside Deloraine, Northern Tasmania.

First established in 2001, Truffles of Tasmania is Tasmania’s largest mature Truffle Farms producing high quality black truffles (Tuber Melanosporum). Our 50 hectare plantation contains English Oak Trees (Quercus Robur, deciduous) and Holm Oak Trees (Quercus Ilex, evergreen).

Tips for keeping truffles

Fresh truffles.

Truffles are best consumed fresh within 10 days. We prefer to store our truffles in a glass vessel, individually wrapped in paper towel to avoid moisture. Sometimes white mould can appear, brush off and wash under cold running water. Black truffles will keep for over one week if stored correctly. The key is to keep the truffle dry. Keep refrigerated.

Frozen Truffles

Keep the truffle frozen until ready to consume. Prepare the truffle best by allowing it to thaw in the refrigerator and use it immediately, otherwise shave frozen directly onto your meal.

Freeze Dried Truffle

Keep your freeze dried truffle fresh by keeping packaging airtight and sealed correctly. Avoid storing in direct sunlight or heat.
