Truffle lover, rarely enchanted (in France) perhaps due to our geographical situation, too distant to taste freshly picked. We were well advised over 15 years ago at the Ponselet market in Paris 17th. The other times we enjoyed good truffles were from Parma in Italy and Croatia. So we are frank, we did not want to spend so much to be disappointed. It is our son, a chef at various good addresses, who recommended your address to us. And while the truffles you sent us were still fresh, their aromas and taste were more than discreet. So no, we were not convinced. Sorry, but that is our appreciation. Best regards Lionel RENAUX

Response from Plantin
Hello Mr. Renaux,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, as well as for the trust placed in the advice of your son.

We fully understand your expectations, especially when one has already had the opportunity to taste truffles from emblematic regions like Italy or Croatia. Since truffles are a natural and living product, their aromatic intensity can vary depending on maturity, the harvest period, and the time elapsed between digging and tasting.

We are pleased to read that they were indeed fresh, even if their aroma and taste did not meet your expectations. Your honesty is appreciated, and we take your feedback very seriously.

If you wish, we would be happy to discuss with you to better understand your experience and guide you towards a selection more suited to your expectations (personalized advice, exchange, or others..).

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

Best regards,
The Plantin team

The quality was not there for the last order. Apparently, the truffles had been left in stock. The whole batch was very dry and tasteless. One of them even developed a layer of mold the day after delivery.

Response from Plantin
Hello,

We are sincerely sorry to hear about your disappointment regarding this last order.

We want to clarify that our truffles are harvested, prepared, and shipped fresh, and are not stored for long periods. Since truffles are a natural and living product, their evolution can, however, be rapid depending on their stage of maturity and the storage conditions after receipt.

Regarding the whitish film that appeared the day after, it is important that we can precisely analyze the situation.

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

Well packaged and delivered on time, well protected. I regret that TWO JARS of the same product are not airtight and that the very strong smell of the truffle diffuses throughout the cupboard, and even beyond, even when putting the jars in another Tupperware-type box. This has never happened to me and it is not pleasant, nor for the persistent smell (a house scented with truffle why not but it is not my choice). There has clearly been a problem... I was waiting thinking it might be the transport, or other products that had touched in the factory, I cleaned the outside of the jars but nothing to do.

Response from Plantin
Hello,

Thank you for your feedback and for your positive remarks regarding the packaging and delivery.

However, we are sorry to hear about the inconvenience encountered with these two jars. Our containers are normally designed to be perfectly airtight, and the situation you describe does not correspond to our usual standards. As truffles are naturally very fragrant, an odor diffusion can be accentuated in case of a lack of airtightness.

Your feedback concerns us and deserves to be verified.

If you wish, we invite you to write to us at [email protected]
specifying your order number, and if possible, attaching photos. We can then analyze the situation and assist you (exchange or commercial gesture).

Best regards,

Truffle pieces are less fragrant than summer Piedmont truffle slices. Too bad.
Translated reviews
Response from Plantin
Hello,

Thank you for your feedback.

Truffle pieces are a product with a more subtle aroma than slices, and their intensity can vary depending on the harvest and culinary use. They are mainly intended to add a truffle note as a complement in certain preparations.

If you wish, we can discuss this topic (usage advice, exchange or commercial gesture).

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback and for your positive remarks about the quality of the products and the delivery.

Our prices reflect the rarity of truffles, their artisanal harvesting method, as well as the selection, control, and transport requirements related to a fresh and fragile product. However, we understand that this may represent a budget.

We thank you for taking the time to share your opinion.

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.

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

I've already ordered truffles several times online and this time I'm very disappointed, especially as I'd opted for the EXTRA quality. The smell was fine, but the taste was very disappointing considering the price. And the packaging wasn't exceptional either. For the same price or even less, I can find it in shops in Belgium. DON'T FORGET YOUR TYPE OF PRODUCT.
Translated reviews
Response from Plantin
Hello Sir, thank you for taking the time to leave your comment. We are surprised to read that you chose the quality of your truffles knowing that we do not offer the option on our website. The term "extra" simply refers to the visual aspect of the truffle, which must be round and regular enough to be defined as an extra quality truffle. In no way does this affect the taste and fragrance of the fresh truffle. Packaging is the most conventional for fresh truffles. It's all about keeping the product, which is perishable, in suitable packaging for transport, nothing more. Don't forget that we have a customer service team available by e-mail or telephone during store opening hours to answer your questions and find a solution. Sincerely, The Plantin Team

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!!!
