Truffle trees are our business
A form of mushroom that develops underground in symbiotic association with the roots of trees, truffles are among the world’s most treasured culinary delicacies. While the growth of wild truffles was historically limited to specific parts of the world, technological breakthroughs have made their cultivation possible through the inoculation of host trees with the fungus under controlled conditions.
At New World Truffieres, we specialize in the cultivation and controlled inoculation of oak and hazelnut seedlings offering a range of culinary truffle species. Our team of experts can work with you to assess your land and help you select the variety that will be the best match for your interests and your orchard’s unique terroir. Our aim is to ensure that you have the greatest chance of success at a profitable, abundant harvest. Please feel free to contact us with questions and inquiries.

Corylus Avellana
Common European Hazelnut
The first and most widely planted tree species inoculated with French black truffles. Hazelnuts are small, easy to grow trees known for producing truffles in as little as three years after planting, and often to produce truffles several years earlier than oaks or other, longer lived hosts. They also produce excellent edible nuts that can be harvested along with the truffles.
Quercus Ilex
Holly Oak
Among the best hosts for truffles, particularly in warmer and dryer climates. Holly oaks are beautiful evergreen live oaks common in Mediterranean Europe, and widely used to cultivate truffles in Spain.
Quercus Robur
English Oak
An excellent host for truffles, both in natural forests and in plantations. English oaks grow into large, deciduous trees used widely and successfully throughout the world as hosts for black and Burgundy truffles.
