A single truffle can cost several hundred euros. GO! Express & Logistics offers buyers such as premium restaurants, luxury hotels, and delicatessen retailers a specialized transport service for this purpose.
A seamless cold chain
with temperatures from zero to four degrees Celsius is essential for the transport of fresh truffles, according to the provider. Particularly suitable are specially equipped refrigerated transporters or insulated packaging with cooling elements, as
even slight temperature fluctuations can lead to significant loss of quality.
Truffles are a particularly delicate natural product with limited shelf life. White truffles generally remain fresh for two to seven days, black truffles
for about ten to twelve days.
According to GO!, the truffles are wrapped in breathable materials like rice paper or kitchen paper and then placed in air-permeable, insulated containers to avoid condensation and mold.
