from farm to fork
Black Périgord and Summer truffles, cultivated on our own plantations in the Cape and soon to arrive in a collection of truffle-infused products for your kitchen.
The Cape Truffle Company
We grow truffles the patient way. On our own land, beneath the Cape mountains and harvested when Europe’s season has ended.
Since 2018 we have owned and managed scientifically inoculated truffle orchards in the Cape region of South Africa. Now we’re bringing them to your table, with a range of products that can tell you exactly where their truffles were grown.
Since 2018
Our own truffle orchards in the Cape, planted and managed by us.
Naturally grown
Organic principles, free from synthetic pesticides and fertilisers.
Off-season harvest
Our seasons run opposite to Europe’s, so we harvest when they can’t.
Solar powered
Our farms are irrigated using the power of the Cape sun.
From farm to fork
One journey, from our soil to your plate
We know where every one of our truffles comes from, because we grew it. Each one is hunted by hand on our farms, then carefully graded.
The finest go fresh to chefs and markets. The rest become the heart of our own collection, so the truffle in every jar and bottle can be traced back to a tree we planted.
