8 truffle producers for the collective brand: “the black diamond of Vaucluse”

A collective brand

It is the first collective fresh truffle brand, created in November 2021 at the initiative of the Syndicat des Producteurs de Truffes du Vaucluse (Vaucluse Truffle Producers’ Federation). On the local market stalls, nothing looks more like a Vaucluse black truffle than another black truffle to the eyes of a truffle lover who often doesn’t know much about them, whether it comes from Spain, China or elsewhere.

Therefore, the profession found it important to be able to reassure consumers and be transparent. The brand, which only covers fresh grown truffles, guarantees their variety – the tuber melanosporum –, from Vaucluse truffle patches managed according to good farming practices – with no chemical inputs and from INRAE- or CTIFL-certified plants –, that they are harvested at maturity, and consequently at their aromatic peak, and finally that they are fresh, i.e. sold less than 7 days after harvesting.
