The black truffle

Mysterious, rare and deeply rooted in the limestone soils of the South-West, the black truffle – or Tuber melanosporum – is one of the region’s most emblematic products. Harvesting them, from December to February, is a special experience, a blend of tradition, silence and passion.

Its intense, woody, bewitching fragrance transforms cooking into a sensory experience. Used with care, it enhances even the simplest dishes. An exceptional product, the black truffle embodies the profound link between nature, season and savoir-faire.

The black truffle, melanosporum, reveals all its power when used delicately. Grated over scrambled eggs, slipped into foie gras or placed on a slice of warm Croustilot bread, it enchants without artifice.

It goes perfectly with a well-structured red wine, which accompanies it without dominating its aromas. A symbol of elegance and rarity, the black truffle is a culinary jewel to be savoured with simplicity and respect.

Tip for an even more fragrant preparation of your scrambled eggs: place the truffle in an airtight container with your eggs the day before: the shell, which is naturally porous, will allow all its aroma to infuse.
