From the forest directly to you
A short journey for a delicate product.
Quality to Swiss standards
In Switzerland, our truffles fall under Swiss food law. This is how we put it into practice:
Self-checks
We check every delivery on arrival: smell, cleanliness and temperature. Everything is recorded in writing.
LMG (SR 817.0) Art. 26 · LGV (SR 817.02) Art. 74–75
View lawCold chain
The truffles stay chilled until handover. We measure and record the temperature for every delivery with a thermometer.
HyV (SR 817.024.1) Art. 24 · 27
View lawTraceability
Every delivery gets its own batch number. For every truffle we know who it came from and who it went to.
LGV (SR 817.02) Art. 83
View lawThe laws are published on Fedlex, the official publication platform for Swiss federal law.
The truffle route
Delivered from Greece straight to Switzerland.
Freshness you can smell.
Freshly found. Delivered in person.
The characteristic aroma of a truffle is shaped by volatile aromatic compounds. One thing is certain: our truffles smell truly fresh, because we do not store them at all.
For TRUFFLE NOSE, every hour counts. That is why our truffles set off to you without detours once they are found: by plane to Switzerland. The shorter the time between forest and kitchen, the more of their scent reaches you.
Nature sets the calendar.
Not always available. And that is exactly part of it.
