History of Truffle Cultivation
Learn about what makes these fungi both exquisite and difficult to grow.
Cultivation of truffles was very elusive, and was essentially non-existent until the late 18th and early 19th centuries. At that time, tree seedlings from the wild were transplanted in southern France, and cultivation began to supplement wild collected truffles. Until the 1970’s, very little advancement was made in the cultivation of truffles.
Truffle production has steadily declined in Europe after World War II. However, this era provided a steady base of knowledge that we have utilized to develop brand-new inoculation methods with incredible results. Now, we are constantly researching new methods to bring consumers fresher, larger, and tastier truffles.
