DISCOVER WHAT'S INSIDE

  • The history truffle through time

    Folklore and superstition, popes and kings, triumphs and long dark decades.

    Trace the black truffle's winding journey across four thousand years of history, from the ancient world to the modern table.

  • The Truffle Hill story

    Patience, setbacks, a lot of stubborn belief, and one unforgettable morning that changed everything.

    This is the story of the first truffle farm in mainland Australia, and the people who refused to give up on it.

  • The science beneath your feet

    What exactly is a truffle? Why is it so difficult to grow, and how does a hidden partnership between tree and fungus create something so prized?

    Discover the quiet science that makes it all possible.

  • Manjimup, home of the black truffle

    A place of ancient forests, towering karri and rich red soils.

    Meet the town at the heart of the Southern Forests, and learn why its terroir turned out to be perfect for truffles.

World-Renowned

FROM MANJIMUP TO THE WORLD

Between the northern hemisphere seasons, when there are no fresh black truffles to be found in France or Italy, some of the world's most celebrated restaurants look south. From Paris to New York, Tokyo to Hong Kong, the truffles on their menus may well have begun here, in the winter mist at Manjimup.

Inside the exhibition, see just how far Truffle Hill's truffles travel, and why so many of the world's best chefs regard them among the finest anywhere.
