Truffles down under, some of the most expensive truffles in the world
Whilst northern hemisphere truffle hunters are busying themselves in the summer
truffle season, July is harvesting time for the Perigord truffle (Tuber melanosporum)
in the southern hemisphere. With productive plantations in both New Zealand
and Australia and with South Africa soon to follow, southern hemisphere truffles
are growing in both recognition and demand. The rewards are there too, with
Australian truffles priced at $2,750AUS/kg (£1,333GBP)and New Zealand
truffles at $3,750NZD/kg (£1,435GBP) returns can be very good indeed.
