Very disappointed by the taste of summer white truffles
Translated reviews
Response from Plantin
Hello,

We are sincerely sorry that our summer white truffles did not meet your expectations. We understand your disappointment, especially when it comes to a product that one looks forward to for its taste and aroma.

The summer white truffle is naturally milder and subtler than other varieties of truffles, but it should still provide a pleasant tasting experience.

Hello,

We are sincerely sorry to read about your disappointment. We completely understand your frustration, especially if you followed the storage and preparation advice provided.

Summer truffles are naturally more delicate and subtle than winter black truffles, but they should still provide a pleasant aromatic experience. Your feedback is therefore important to us and will be forwarded to our quality team.

We invite you to contact our customer service with your order number so that we can discuss with you and find an appropriate solution.

All recommendations are perfect except for taking the truffles out of the cold at least an hour before... I did everything: garlic, Jerusalem artichokes, cream, butter, leeks, and truffle oil... except that nothing indicates that they should be taken out well in advance... So I ruined my dish, my pleasure, my surprise with wine wow... sniff
Translated reviews
Response from Plantin
Hello,

We are sincerely sorry to hear about your disappointment, especially given the care taken in your preparation.

Regarding the use of truffle, it is indeed not necessary to leave it at room temperature for long. On the contrary, we generally recommend taking it out of the refrigerator and grating or cutting it immediately, in order to best preserve its aromas.

The expression of the truffle also depends a lot on its use (heat of the dish, moment of incorporation, contact with a fatty substance...), which can sometimes strongly influence the final result.

In this type of situation, the best thing is to contact us directly in advance, so that we can assist you and give you advice tailored to your recipe.

We remain at your disposal to discuss with you and find a solution.

Best regards,

We are sincerely sorry to hear about your disappointment regarding the fresh truffle received, especially considering the expectation and the price involved.

Our black truffles from Périgord are harvested, prepared, and shipped fresh, then selected and controlled with care in our workshops. An abnormal smell does not correspond to the expected characteristics, and it is important that we can precisely analyze the situation.

There was no delivery attempt, the package was immediately deposited at a pickup point that has very limited opening hours. I struggled to get the package there.

Your advisors were very professional following the non-delivery to my home by Chronofresh; another shipment was made in the best possible time. However, I am very disappointed with the quality, there is no taste. I am quite disappointed for my guests; this is the first year that your truffles are without smell or flavor. I prefer to point this out to you because if the quality is the same, I will not order again.

Truffle juice is a naturally more subtle product, whose aromatic intensity can vary depending on the harvest and its culinary use. It is mainly intended to add a truffle note as a complement in certain preparations.

Hello,

We are sorry to learn about your disappointment regarding part of the truffles received.

Since truffles are a natural and living product, their appearance, texture, and aromatic intensity may vary depending on their ripeness at the time of harvest. Firmer flesh or slightly pink may correspond to a different stage of development, without necessarily indicating a defect.

Hello,

We are sincerely sorry to learn about your disappointment.

However, we would like to clarify that our truffles are never frozen. They are harvested, prepared, and shipped fresh, as freezing immediately alters their aromatic qualities and is not part of our practices.

Dried truffles, no smell, disappointing purchase
Translated reviews
Response from Plantin
Hello,

We are sincerely sorry to learn that your experience did not meet your expectations.

All our truffles are rigorously selected and sorted by hand, one by one, in our workshops. They are prepared and shipped fresh, with careful checks at the time of departure. Since truffles are a natural and living product, their aromatic intensity can vary depending on their ripeness, harvest period, and also the storage conditions after receipt.

A sensation of dryness or lack of smell can particularly occur if the truffle has not been preserved or consumed under optimal conditions, as this product is particularly delicate.

We regret that you did not contact us directly before posting this review. Our team is always available to assist our customers, and in such situations, we systematically seek an appropriate solution (advice, exchange, or commercial gesture).

Well, my truffle was not exceptional, yet I did what was necessary to keep it well preserved, paper towel, airtight box, paper towel changed every day, so maybe I missed something? In any case, no more smell for New Year's Eve.
Translated reviews
Response from Plantin
Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and we are sincerely sorry to learn of your disappointment for New Year's Eve.

You indeed applied the correct preservation practices (absorbent paper, airtight box, daily change of the paper towel). Despite this, the truffle remains an extremely fragile and living product, whose aroma can evolve very quickly, sometimes even when all recommended precautions are followed, particularly depending on its ripeness at the time of harvest.

It is possible that the truffle reached its aromatic peak before the tasting date, which may explain the loss of smell observed. Each truffle being unique, these variations unfortunately remain possible.

We understand your disappointment, especially in a festive context, and wish to discuss with you to better understand your situation and offer you an appropriate solution.

We invite you to contact us at [email protected] to discuss this in more detail.

Hello,

We are sincerely sorry to learn of your disappointment regarding the second shipment and the condition of the received truffles.

All our truffles are harvested, prepared, and shipped fresh, then checked and sorted by hand in our workshops. The presence of soft areas or whitish traces can sometimes appear when the truffle evolves rapidly, as this product is particularly fragile and living.
