Truffière Croix Du Sud | Ohiwa Black Diamonds
Located on the Ohiwa Harbour, in the beautiful sunny Eastern Bay of Plenty, New Zealand.
Our truffles are grown in our unique volcanic soils on oak and hazel nut trees. Our truffiere has been producing Black Perigord Truffles for over 18 years.
Our truffiere was planted and developed by Crop and Food NZ (now Plant and Food Research) alongside scientist Dr Ian Hall in 1988.
We produce more Black Perigord truffle per hectare than any other truffiere in New Zealand.
We currently sell fresh truffle to New Zealand's top chefs and restaurants, including exporting over seas.

THE BEGINNING OF TRUFFIÈRE CROIX DU SUD
- DR IAN HALL | SCIENTIST
"The Truffière Croix du Sud in Ruatuna Road, between Whakatane and Opotiki, New Zealand, was one of the first dozen Périgord black truffle (Tuber melanosporum) truffières established in the Southern Hemisphere and formed part of a large research programme around the possible cultivation of truffles counter-season to the Northern n Hemisphere. Some background to this research programme is covered in several publications including two of our books:
Hall, I.R.: Brown, G.; Zambonelli, A. 2008. Taming the truffle: the history, lore, and science of the ultimate mushroom. Portland, Timber Press. 304 p.
Hall, I.R.; Stephenson, S.; Buchanan, P.; Wang, Y.; Cole, A.L.J. 2003. Edible and poisonous mushrooms of the world. Timber Press, Portland. 371 p.
With one exception all of the experimental truffières in the warmer parts of New Zealand produced within a decade of planting. Over the following years the truffière produced an incredibly large number of truffles and ranked as one of the world's most productive, attracting huge attention from other New Zealand growers and European experts. Truffère Criox du Sud began to command a place in some of New Zealand's best restaurants and offshore.
Truffière Crios du Sud has become one of the world's most interesting and important productive truffières. The success of this truffière and others like it in New Zealand has led to huge truffle growing ventures in Australia, Chile, Argentina and South Africa"
