The phrase 'In pursuit of Excellence' best sums up our philosophy on importing, and it's how our regulars view our range. If something is the best of its type, then we probably have it.
Truffle is a store that you're most likely to hear about through word-of-mouth. An uncertain address with an unlikely entrance way... and suddenly your're in an aladdins cave containing hundreds of unusual and interesting product lines from many different importers. Truffle is the largest importer of vanilla extracts and truffle related products in the country, as well as the N.Z. agents for a number of exclusive products. Read more about us.
We ship nationwide to foodies, chefs and other retailers, among whom we have earned a reputation for quality and service.
Delivery / Shipping - please note that we are unable to ship to P.O. Boxes, and don't ship outside of New Zealand.
This website displays retail prices inclusive of GST. Both retail and trade customers can place orders here. (Our payments page has full details.) Browsing is encouraged but you will need to register to begin shopping.
