Black Truffle Delivery from the Grower
Truffle delivery from this site means one thing: fresh Tuber melanosporum, lifted in Teruel, weighed piece by piece and sent to you in cold.
Fresh black truffle is perishable, so the order is not treated like a parcel of dry goods. Where it can go and when it should leave are agreed with you before anything is packed.
This page describes that process, from the request to the box.
What is agreed before a fresh truffle leaves Teruel
Three things are settled before dispatch: the pieces, the destination and the date.
- The pieces: species, grade and the real weight of each one, confirmed with you before payment.
- The destination: fresh truffle cannot go everywhere. Tell us where you are and we confirm whether it can be sent there.
- The date: fresh truffle should arrive close to when it will be used, so the dispatch day is chosen with the delivery day in mind.
How the box is packed
A fresh truffle travels brushed, not washed, wrapped in paper so that it neither sweats nor dries out.
Sellers of fresh truffle in Spain describe the standard as an insulated polystyrene box with cold packs, collected to order and sent by refrigerated courier.
Why cold matters more than speed
The aroma of a black truffle fades a little every day from the moment it leaves the ground. Cold slows that down; heat and damp speed it up.
That is why the box is insulated and why the dispatch date is matched to your delivery date, rather than sent as soon as possible and left to wait.
Delivery inside and outside Europe
Within the European Union the truffle travels as fresh produce. Outside it, rules on fresh food vary by country, and some destinations are not possible for fresh truffle at all.
We do not promise a destination we have not checked. If fresh delivery to your address is not possible, the preserved and frozen formats on the wholesale pages travel without those constraints.
Delivery during the season
Fresh black truffle exists from December to April. Deliveries are only possible in those months, and December is when demand is highest.

Do you deliver fresh truffle to the United States?
The destination is confirmed at the time of ordering, before anything ships. Fresh food rules differ by country, and we do not promise a route we have not confirmed for your address.
How long does delivery take?
It depends on the destination, and it is confirmed with you together with the dispatch date when the order is agreed. The dispatch day is chosen so that the truffle arrives close to when you will use it.
