Welcome to our exciting tree partnership with the precious Burgundy truffle on a hazelnut tree!

Burgundy Truffle with Hazelnut in brief: The Burgundy truffle (Tuber aestivum), also known as the summer truffle, is a delicacy in the world of culinary delights. Our Burgundy truffles are cultivated in harmony with hazelnut trees, and this unique partnership gives them a distinctive aroma and special appeal. Learn more about the fascinating history and origin of this treasure.

About the taste of Burgundy truffles: Burgundy truffles have a distinctive, earthy flavor with a subtle hint of garlic. These delicious tubers lend your dishes an unparalleled aroma and are a highly sought-after ingredient in haute cuisine. They can be freshly shaved and used over pasta, risotto, or even omelets.

The growth of the hazelnut tree: Your hazelnut tree begins as a small, bushy tree about 60 cm tall. From this point on, you can witness its impressive growth firsthand. In the first year, it will develop into a strong little tree that provides shade and protection for your Burgundy truffles.

The development of the tree and the truffles: Over the years, your hazelnut tree will grow into a majestic specimen, while the Burgundy truffles develop underground. The seasonal changes of the tree and the search for the coveted truffles make for a fascinating journey.

The history of the Burgundy truffle: The Burgundy truffle has a long history and was already prized by the ancient Romans. It is native to the forests of Europe and thrives best in natural, shady environments, where it is found by experienced truffle hunters.

Original origin: The Burgundy truffle has its roots in the forests of Europe, particularly in France and Italy. However, the fascination with this precious delicacy has spread throughout the world, and today it is cultivated in many regions.
