Pleasant, even if it is not comparable to the black one. Spread on buttered toasts, as an appetizer, it is delicious.

Very disappointed, I bought summer truffles, stored as indicated, prepared as recommended and still no smell, no taste, no flavor. No interest; I just lost my money
Translated reviews
Response from Plantin
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

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,
The Plantin team

Really very disappointing for the price, in taste it is practically impossible to guess that they are truffles. Despite a price of around 1300€ per kg delivered to the house!
Translated reviews
Response from Plantin
Hello,

We are sincerely sorry to hear that the aromatic intensity did not meet your expectations, especially considering the price involved.

Since truffles are a natural and living product, their taste and aroma can vary depending on their maturity, the harvest period, and the conditions of storage after receipt. Our truffles are selected and controlled with care in our workshops, but some variations unfortunately remain possible.

We fully understand your disappointment and take your feedback seriously.

If you wish, we can discuss this matter (usage advice, exchange, or other).

Response from Plantin
Hello,

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.

We also regret the lack of response you mentioned following your contact attempts. This is not the experience we wish to offer.

If you wish, we invite you to write to us again at [email protected]
, specifying your order number and, if possible, attaching photos. We can then discuss this matter.

We thank you, however, for your positive remark regarding the oil.

The product is okay, the delivery time is also fine, but the final delivery by the parcel delivery service, DPD, was unacceptable. 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. I recommend: choose another delivery service. Best regards, TH

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.

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback.

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,

Thank you for your feedback.

The size of truffles can naturally vary depending on the harvest period and climatic conditions. Small truffles can offer as much aromatic quality as larger calibers, as they are primarily selected for their freshness and aroma.

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.

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).
