Truffles are collected fresh at the time of maturity during the winter months in Australia when the fruitbody emits an intense perfume. The truffles are brushed, washed and graded into classes indicated below. They are vacuum packed and forwarded in suitable containers determined by their destination. Individual truffles are assessed for quality and serial numbered and final weights are recorded and a certificate indicating their authenticity is attached. Australian customers can expect an overnight delivery to Perth only. Buyers should be aware that a 1% loss in weight may occur if transported. The Source Real Food Store does not take any responsibility in the loss or reduced quality of the truffles once they leave the premises at Manjimup, Western Australia.
