New growers’ seminar
June 20, 2015Spain Heats Up
June 20, 2015During March we have seen our first plantation
of the year getting underway in France, with has trees inoculated with the Black Winter Truffle. This species thrives in the milder Mediterranean climates
and is very valuable; prices reached a whopping €1250 per kilo this month.
We also have new plantations in the UK with trees inoculated with the British summer truffle. The Summer Truffle has a broad tolerance of climate and can grow as far north as Sweden, which makes it an ideal species to cultivate.
