Hello, As I reported to customer service, the truffles I received were beautiful but lacked smell and flavor. I usually buy Melanosporum from Plantin, and all my guests were disappointed. I regret Plantin's lack of commercial gesture.

Hello, we are sorry to hear of your disappointment. As we discussed by e-mail, it seems that the recommendations provided in the guide to using canned truffles have not been respected. Indeed, canned truffles are a product that requires very special attention, whether in terms of the proportion used in a dish or its cooking. A minimum of 10-15g of canned truffle per person is required, and a minimum of 10% for a preparation (butter, sauce, etc.). All this information is detailed in our guide, which is sent in each parcel containing appertized truffles. Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

The package arrived but, contrary to the very clear instructions about the recipient, it was delivered to a person in the apartment building where I live, NOT designated by me as recipient or substitute ! I remember that there is privacy ! But the worst thing is that the person to whom my order was left, delivered it to my partner, thus ruining my surprise for Christmas! A total disaster! As for the condition of the contents, I still don't know, because the package will be opened on Christmas Day...at least that!!!

I'm quite disappointed with the product. I wanted these broken truffles to accompany tagliatelle, but the taste was very very bland, even when eating them directly from a spoon. I don't know if it's a defect of the product, but there was almost no truffle taste.

Wishing you an excellent day.
Yours sincerely

Response from Plantin
Hello, can you please tell me how many people you used this jar for? I see that you bought a 15g jar and a 30g jar of extra brushed truffles. For information, we recommend 15g for a dish for 1 person maximum, as the heat treatment (appertization) will have annihilated the truffle's aromas, so it's all the more important to respect this weight. We regret that your experience with this product did not live up to your expectations. If you like black truffles, you're probably used to eating them fresh. However, this product is appertized, having undergone two heat treatments in order to preserve the truffles for several years. These truffles are therefore cooked, with organoleptic qualities quite different from those of fresh truffles. You'll also have noticed that their appearance is very different from that of fresh truffles: the flesh of appertized truffles is black, with no marbling. This appertization also affects the smell: when opened, there is generally little or no smell, which is normal. Similarly, we tend to consume truffle-derived products that are flavored (oils, salts, etc.); as such, they will be much stronger in taste than the raw truffle, which remains subtle and light on the palate. It's also important to point out that this is a product that needs to be worked on: the smell and taste of these canned truffles develop when they come into contact with heat, or when they are infused in a fatty substance (butter or cheese, for example), hence the need to add them to a hot dish at the last moment, just before serving, or to let them infuse in the fatty substance for 24 to 48 hours before eating. They should never be added at the beginning or in the middle of cooking, for example, as this will destroy all their flavor. I hope these explanations have given you the answers to your questions, and we remain at your disposal should you have any further requests or queries. I wish you an excellent day. Sincerely, La Maison Plantin

Catastrophic Chronofresh delivery: the driver missed several appointments while you waited for him all day because no one warned you, with lame excuses each time (the driver didn't find the parcel, the parcel wasn't put on the truck and stayed at the depot, the driver didn't have time to come to your house because he had to return to the depot before 4:00 pm....) The fresh truffle shavings are actually quite large pieces of debris, the smell is good but the taste is a little bland and well below the quality expected of fresh black truffles. The summer truffle pasta is good and as expected.
