This is an unusual product with an impeccable pedigree. Perigord truffles (black truffles), one of the
most exclusive of all truffles, have seen a price rise year on year of 4%+ since World War II. The accel-
erated growth in fine dining and development of a multitude of truffle related products has fuelled
these increases and is continuing to do so.
Truffles are used in many ways, such as to produce specialist oils, cheese, honey and patés. The price
of these goods carries a high premium as the presence of truffles in any product instantly elevates it
to a “luxury product” status.
With the demand for luxury products being at an all time high and growing the demand for truffle
products is increasing.

Spain is so good for truffles in the current conditions because it has a more extreme climate than
France. Where the winters are getting milder, the Spanish mountains can guarantee frost where
France cannot. These climatic changes mean the weather band that previously covered France is
moving south and has resulted – (with other factors such as housing encroachment) - in production
in France dropping over the last 100 years, from 1000 tons to just 50 tons in recent years.
Black truffles are found naturally in the wild in Europe between the latitudes 40n to 47n. which
corresponds basically from Valencia, Spain to Paris, France. The climate and pH levels of soil in Spain
are perfect for truffle growth and our sites have the perfect soil and climate profile for the best
harvests.
