Our story

Where truffles grow

Truffles grow in quiet woods of oak, hazel and linden, on chalky soils, where the climate is mild and the moisture just right. Black winter and summer truffles, bianchetto in spring and the white truffle in autumn each have their own season and aroma – in the kitchen they belong on Sunday pasta as much as on a quick bruschetta.

Truffles cannot be grown like vegetables. They live underground, in symbiosis with the roots of trees, and are found with the help of dogs. Every season is different, and that is exactly what makes them so special.

Our producers

We work with small producers who have known the woods and the truffle for generations. Our delicacies come from them: truffles processed by hand, in small batches, following traditional recipes.

The road from the wood where a truffle is found to the workshop where it is prepared is a short one. That is what convinced us most about this partnership: closeness to the raw ingredient, care for detail and recipes that are not changed just to make things faster.

The result is creams and sauces, sliced truffles in oil, truffle butter and truffle honey, pasta and savoury spreads: products that bring the character of each truffle variety into your kitchen, even out of season. What goes into every jar is stated in full on the label and on each product page: the truffle species, the ingredients and the allergens.

Who we are

Luck Pilze is a fine-food company based in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. Our idea is simple: to bring authentic truffle delicacies to places where they are hard to find – to Romania, to Germany and to other countries across Europe. We do not make the products ourselves. We select them, work directly with the producers and make sure everything reaches you safely and carefully packed.

Alongside the delicacies in jars, we also offer fresh truffles in season – for private customers as well as restaurants and delicatessens, always at the day's price on request.

How we select

Only what convinces us makes it into our range. We look at a few clear things:

• Producers: we only work with producers we know and trust.
• Taste: we try each product and ask whether it honestly reflects the character of the truffle.
• Transparency: truffle species, ingredients, allergens and nutrition facts are openly listed on every product page.
• Everyday use: each product should be easy to use – with pasta, risotto, eggs, cheese or simply on toasted bread.

We would rather offer a small range we know well than a large one we cannot explain.
