Many buyers are interested in where fresh truffle actually comes from and how it reaches their country in such a short time.
In reality, the supply chain is quite straightforward, but timing and handling make a big difference.
Harvesting
In Yunnan and Sichuan, truffles are mainly hunted by experienced gatherers who spot them visually and dig them up carefully with small rakes. In recent years, dogs have also been used, but manual searching remains the mainstream method.
Speed is important here. The faster the process, the better the final quality.
Sorting and Grading
After harvesting, truffles are cleaned and sorted by:
- size
- shape
- surface condition
Different markets prefer different grades. Restaurants may prefer medium sizes, while distributors often look for mixed sizes.
👉 If you have specific requirements, we can sort according to your market preference.
Packing
Truffle is packed shortly after sorting. Standard export packing includes:
- protective wrapping
- vacuum packaging
- insulated boxes
This helps reduce moisture and protect the product during transit.
Export and Delivery
Most shipments are arranged by air freight.
From packing to arrival, the process usually takes only a few days depending on destination.
