“I have been using Tasmanian truffles for several years now, although I was sceptical at first having been accustomed to using the great winter truffles from France and Italy. I am now very happy with the consistently high standard of the Tamar Valley brand and look forward to the season each year.  Friend and Burrell care about their reputation and always ensure that the chef comes first  when it comes to any issues regarding quality and service.”
