About us...

Chile is a producer of truffles, mainly black truffles (Tuber melanosporum), whose quality is similar to that cultivated in Europe.
We are the only truffle growers' association in our country. We bring together truffle growers, exporters, professionals, and a specialized nursery.

As a guild, we have information on products of origin and assured traceability, and together we work to combine our efforts to improve and address the technical and commercial challenges of our industry.
We love what we do!

“In the end, the truffle is the true diamond of gastronomy.”

The Chilean truffle, an export product

Exclusivity, texture,
Color & Aroma

Every truffle that is to be consumed must have a strong, pleasant aroma and be firm to the touch. Shape, size, texture, and color are aspects that define the truffle's category. With them, we can differentiate them into three main groups: Extra, First, and Second.

The first of these, extra truffle, is characterized by its globular shape, medium size, and freedom from imperfections. The first-grade truffle is primarily defined as an entire truffle, a larger size range, and an irregular shape. And finally, the second-grade truffle is recognized by a piece or fragment of a larger truffle.
