ABOUT US

Our History and Expertise

The story of the Truffexquise brand is, above all, one of shared expertise and a passion for truffles that has grown and been nurtured over the years.

Founded in 2017 and owned by Very Nice Food Ltd. from the very beginning, Truffexquise was developed alongside an experienced truffle broker with more than 25 years of experience in the trade. Over the course of eight years of close and demanding collaboration, he passed on his hands-on expertise and one fundamental principle: selecting the right product at the optimum stage of maturity and preparing it with the utmost care.

Today, Very Nice Food Ltd. continues to develop its brand with the same high standards that have built its reputation from the very beginning. We maintain a strong presence on the ground in France through our dispatch facility, located in the south of the country, close to historic truffle-growing areas.

Rigorous Selection and Clearly Identified Origins

Alongside the Burgundy truffles (Tuber uncinatum), summer truffles (Tuber aestivum) and Alba white truffles (Tuber magnatum) that we offer according to the season, our black truffles (Tuber melanosporum) are primarily sourced from France’s main truffle-producing regions:

South-East: Vaucluse, Drôme, Ardeche, Isère, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, Gard and Var

South-West: Lot, Perigord and Charente

Each batch is clearly identified in each of our quotations. When products from other origins are offered to meet specific requirements, we state this openly rather than selling opaque “mixes” of undisclosed composition.

Our Commitments: The Reality of the Product

Our profession is founded on one simple principle: to be a reliable, long-term partner for food and hospitality professionals:

• Every truffle is weighed and examined by hand to check its firmness and ensure that it shows no signs of decay or cavities.

• Control cuts are carried out to assess the maturity and veining of the gleba throughout the batch.

• Careful preparation: washing, brushing and drying are carefully managed in our facility to guarantee a clean, ready-to-use product with optimal usable yield.

• Respect for the cold chain: kept between 2 and 7 °C, the truffles are shipped in suitable insulated packaging with cold packs, for express delivery within 24 to 48 hours.

• Transparent information: every week, our clients receive a clear quotation of our prices together with an accurate update on market conditions.

Our Philosophy

We do not claim to be producers: we are meticulous selectors and conscientious truffle merchants. We know that, when it comes to fresh truffles, excessive promises can never replace expertise and commercial integrity.

Our principle is simple: to compromise neither on quality nor on transparency about market realities, and to honour our commitments to our clients.

Discretion, consistency and rigour: we strive to build long-term relationships with our professional clients, with the utmost respect for the confidentiality of their sourcing arrangements.
