Beautiful truffles but two were very wormy.
Translated reviews
Response from Plantin
Hello,

Thank you for your feedback and for your positive remark about the appearance of the truffles.
We are sincerely sorry to learn that two of them were wormy.

Despite careful selection and hand-checking, truffles remain a natural and living product, and unfortunately, some internal defects may not be visible during external sorting.

We fully understand your disappointment and would like to discuss with you to offer you an appropriate solution.

We invite you to contact us at [email protected], specifying your order.

Best regards,
The Plantin team

Truffle foie gras that unfortunately had neither the taste nor the smell of truffle. very very very disappointing. the fresh truffle was satisfactory
Translated reviews
Response from Plantin
Hello,

We are sincerely sorry to learn of your disappointment regarding the truffle foie gras, while thanking you for your positive remark on the fresh truffle.

Since truffle is a natural and delicate ingredient, its aromatic intensity can vary depending on the product and the type of incorporation. Our truffle foie gras recipe is crafted with a focus on flavor balance, so that the truffle complements the foie gras without masking its finesse, which can sometimes be perceived as insufficient intensity according to expectations.

However, we understand your disappointment and wish to discuss with you to better understand your experience and offer you an appropriate solution.

We invite you to contact us at [email protected] so that we can assist you in a personalized manner.

Best regards,
The Plantin team

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).

We invite you to write to us at [email protected] so that we can discuss your experience in more detail and provide you with a personalized response.

Best regards,
The Plantin team

Perfect shipping and delivery. However, 200g of fresh melanosporum truffle with no smell or flavor. Zero taste. I am truly very disappointed because I wanted to order 1 kg for the holidays this year. They would do much better to indicate on their site like their competitors (not in stock at the moment).

Regarding the unsubscription, we regret that the procedure did not work as intended. This is not normal, and we apologize for this inconvenience. We invite you to contact us directly by email at [email protected] so that we can manually and immediately process your unsubscription.

Non-receipt of the package, the carrier is incompetent
Translated reviews
Response from Plantin
Hello,

We are sincerely sorry for the non-receipt of your package and fully understand your dissatisfaction.

Even though the delivery is handled by an independent carrier, this does not change our commitment to our customers. This type of situation is obviously unacceptable, especially for fresh and sensitive products like truffles.

We regret that you did not contact us directly as soon as the problem was noticed. This would have allowed us to immediately open an investigation with the carrier and offer you a quick solution (reshipment or refund according to your preference).

We invite you to reach out to us by email at [email protected] so that we can analyze your case and resolve this situation as quickly as possible.

Hello,

We are sincerely sorry for this experience and fully understand your disappointment, especially in the context of a gift box meant to be given.

We regret the delay encountered in sending the return label as well as the perceived lack of responsiveness in our exchanges. This is not the experience we wish to offer our customers.

Your feedback has been duly noted and we thank you for bringing it to our attention.

If you wish, we can discuss this matter (exchange or commercial gesture).

Disappointed by the weight (14g instead of 15g) at the price per kilo, it's not nothing and especially a moldy part. These two points are normal for you. Disappointed!

Regarding the appearance of the product, we have also taken the time to discuss it in order to provide you with all the necessary explanations.

As a solution has been provided to you, we would like to ask you, if you wish, to kindly reconsider your opinion. You will receive an email allowing you to modify it.

Response from Plantin
Hello,

We are sincerely sorry that your experience with the white truffle from Alba did not meet your expectations.

However, we want to assure you of one essential point: our white truffles from Alba are never frozen. They are exclusively marketed fresh, whole, and prepared with the utmost respect for the product. Freezing would immediately alter their aromatic qualities and does not correspond in any way to our methods of work.

The white truffle from Alba is an extremely delicate product, whose aromatic intensity can vary according to its natural maturity, its harvest stage, and the storage conditions after receipt. A rapid loss of aroma can occur if it is not consumed or stored under optimal conditions.

We regret that you did not contact us directly before publishing this review. This would have allowed us to discuss with you, analyze the situation, and propose an appropriate solution.

We remain at your disposal and invite you to write to us at [email protected]
to reconnect and calmly discuss your experience.

Best regards,
Laurent

Quality product. I will reserve my advice for my next order. Indeed, the recent bad weather has heavily soaked the truffle, which consequently loses some of its flavor at the beginning of the season. To be continued.

Speed and simple communication with the Plantin team. However, Chronofresh put my package in the mailbox of the Chateau where we were staying, and it took us 2 days to find it because "they didn't have proof of delivery and then no one knew where the package was," despite having called twice, they assured me that it was impossible for it to be in the mailbox, as the "fresh" package must be delivered "in person"; luckily, we eventually found the package, but the ChronoFresh service is really annoying. I had 20 people available on site ready to receive it, but they decided to ignore my clear instructions to "Call upon arrival."

Hello Madam, Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience with our carrier was not satisfactory.
