During this cleaning process the truffles lose 15 to 20 % of their weight. It depends on the ground and how much earth sticks on the truffle.


* The selection :

- The identification of the different kinds of truffle:
we harvest 4 kinds of truffle and also we make a strict selection. Once the truffles are brushed, they are easily to identify for an expert.

- Selection of the different qualities:
When the truffles are cleaned and sorted according to kind, the ones among them which have gone bad or which are woody, are sorted out. Not all of the damaged truffles are really useless. The undamaged sides serve to make „morceau de truffes“ ( pieces of truffle) while the others are serve to make „brisure“ ( fragments of truffle), provided that they are in a satisfactory state, otherwise they serve as „seeds“ to make trufflecultures.

* The packaging :

The fresh truffles are vacuum-packed in plastic bags. In this way the truffle keeps ist flavour. This kind of packaging prevents them from knocking together and getting damaged. To avoid squashing this „black pearl“, the vacuum is controlled.
We deals in 4 kinds of truffle that are of aesthetic and gastronomic quality and each of  has got a completely different perfum. To make the choice easier for you, we are going to give you a quite precise description.
