Each winter, from beneath the roots of oak and hazelnut trees, one of the culinary world's most coveted treasures emerges. Australian Black Winter Truffles.
While France and Italy have long been the major source for premium black winter truffles, in the last few years Australia has become one of the world’s major producers. Imagine the legendary French PĂ©rigord black truffle, prized for its intoxicating aroma and extraordinary depth of flavor, cultivated in Australia’s pristine climate. The result is nothing short of magic.
With Australian truffles at their peak during their June to August harvest season, Filipino-Australian Chef Oliver “Oli” Buenviaje has created an indulgent truffles and caviar menu for a special first-of-its-kind, one-day-only wine dinner, Truffle Alchemy, taking place on July 25 at World Cellar in Gateway Mall 2, Araneta City. He will personally hand-carry the truffles from Below & Above Truffles in Pemberton, Western Australia, for this extraordinary dinner experience.
