Response from Plantin
Hello,

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

All our truffles are rigorously selected and sorted by hand, one by one, in our workshops. Each piece is checked to ensure its freshness and quality at the time of shipment. However, as truffles are a natural and living product, their aromatic intensity can vary depending on their ripeness, origin, and also the storage conditions after receipt.

We especially 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 find an appropriate solution (advice, exchange, or commercial gesture).

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

Best regards,
Laurent

I received a gift box with products that expire a week later! (a concern for a holiday gift), I received no apology in return and had to wait before receiving the return label I requested for an exchange. I am disappointed with the company.

Response from Plantin
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).
You can write to us at [email protected]
or contact us directly by phone.

Best regards,

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."

Although this is the 3rd or 4th time I've ordered fresh truffles from Plantin in February, I found the quality of this shipment really inadequate, even mediocre, as if the truffles weren't ripe. They were almost odorless with very little flavor. Really disappointing.

The products are very good, with no surprises. The delivery, unfortunately, again without surprise since Chronopost, catastrophic. Parcel supposed to be delivered at home dropped off at a parcel relay with no explanation, of course at a time when the parcel relay was closed. Chronopost never ceases to innovate in mediocrity.

I ordered a 50g Périgord black truffle I was disappointed with the product because apart from the smell the taste was not there no or little flavour As well in a brouillade as in a thin slice on bread I contacted PLANTIN who replied that the truffles were not yet ripe and that the taste might not be there He offered me a voucher worth 50% Usable before the end of February Commercial action I nevertheless give 4 stars for responsiveness and delivery

Hello, Following my order, I received 3 truffles. One of them went straight into the garbage can, rotten and limp. In a box of button mushrooms, I don't care, but here. We shouldn't get into the habit of putting the wrong pieces in mail-order sales. For me, it's over... Have a nice day.

I'm disappointed. The summer truffles I recently bought from you are inedible: 21-05-2024. They have absolutely no taste. They taste bland. Trash! Sorry for my money. Never again.
