ATC is part of a global network with truffle orchards in North America, Europe and South Africa. These diverse locations and climates contribute to our rich set of experiences and most importantly, methodology and large-scale data, which we share exclusively with our client-partners and are unavailable in the public domain. We effectively equip you with a strong advantage in truffle production, based on hard science and continuing research, rather than trial-and-error or word-of-mouth.

While we have broad experiences on many variety of truffles, our current focus is on two species:
1. Tuber melanosporum (black truffle, also known as Perigord truffle or winter truffle)
2. Tuber aestivum/uncinatum (summer truffle, also known as Burgundy truffle)

FREE Truffle Cultivation/Business Seminars

Tuesday, June 25, 8:30-10:30am

Napa County Farm Bureau: 811 Jefferson Street, Napa, CA 94559

Truffle orchards are highly profitable - as much as 7-12 times more per acre than vineyards – and are an excellent and viable way to diversify land usage. The demand for black truffles, the most sought after truffles in the culinary world, far exceeds supply. Current black truffle production is almost exclusively European - predominately France, followed by Spain and Italy, with small amounts in Slovenia, Croatia and Australia. But now black truffles can be cultivated in select areas around the world; and Northern California, especially Napa and Sonoma, offer particularly suitable climates/soil.

Get an overview of the cultivation science and business of black truffles with cultivation expert and American Truffle Company Managing Director Robert Chang.
