Seasonal Truffle Package

The truffle, a Black diamond from Périgord. It is one of the few winter harvests, when the freezing cold covers the hills of the Périgord. Twenty centimeters below the ground of woodlands and forest surrounding Chateau Belet hides a plant treasure, is adorned with almost supernatural qualities. The earthy gangue of this pebble with modest appearances hides a treasure that has shaped the landscapes and saved a peasantry watched by famine.

The adventure of Tuber melanosporum, or Périgord truffle, looks like an odyssey.
