The Black Truffle
of Périgord
History of Truffle Sibourd
The Truffle Sibourd comes from a story of a family’s passion for the mysterious black truffle that brings them from the beautiful region of the Southern Alps to the peaceful countryside of Périgord where the capital of the Black Truffle is situated.The family Sibourd has always had a passion for the French gastronomy.
So it is only natural that we feel in love with one of France’s most precious tradition, the Black Truffle of Périgord.
Our truffle plantation is located in Lalbenque, capital of fresh Périgord truffles in the department of the Lot. Our truffle fields are made up of holm oaks and pubescent oaks which produce fresh Périgord truffles also called Tuber Malanosporum.
Our family has planted a total of 5 hectares of Truffle Oaks in 2010 and 2012 and cared for the truffle plantation for 10 years. It is with much patience and perseverance along these years where we see our plantation grow that we finally harvest our first Black Truffles in 2020.
Today, this passion is transmitted between three generations from parents to grandchildren and we hope to continue to bring to you refined and quality Black Truffles in many years to come.
