Producer spotlight: Shropshire Truffles

At Farmfetch, we’re proud to work with dedicated artisan producers from across the UK, and Shropshire Truffles is one of our finest partners. Located in the picturesque village of Stapleton, Shropshire, this family-run business is led by Mike and Michelle, who have been cultivating fresh black truffles in their truffle orchard since 2006. What began as an experiment has blossomed into a renowned source of exceptional truffles, sought after by food lovers and chefs across the UK.

The story of Shropshire Truffles is one of patience and passion. After planting oak and hazel trees inoculated with truffle spores, Mike and Michelle waited years for their first truffles to grow. By 2018, they were finding these coveted fungi beneath the soil, but needed a trained companion to locate them efficiently. Enter Oscar, their loyal truffle-hunting dog, who quickly mastered the art of finding these hidden treasures. With Oscar’s help, Shropshire Truffles now provides some of the best truffles to restaurants, delicatessens, and home cooks alike.

At Farmfetch, we offer their exquisite Fresh Black Truffles, perfect for elevating any dish. Whether you’re grating a few shavings over pasta, incorporating them into a creamy risotto, or using them to enhance meat dishes, these truffles bring a unique, earthy flavour that transforms a meal. Their deep aroma and luxurious taste make them a must-have for festive cooking or any special occasion.

Shropshire Truffles also produces rich, decadent Truffle Butter, made with an impressive 10% truffle content - double the standard amount. This butter is ideal for adding a gourmet touch to simple dishes like mashed potatoes, steak, or vegetables, or for spreading on warm bread for an indulgent snack. The rich, buttery base combined with the aromatic truffle creates a flavour experience that’s hard to match.

To get the most from your truffles, we recommend using a Truffle Slicer for precise, thin shavings that help release their full flavour and aroma - you can buy this directly from us. A high-quality truffle slicer ensures you can add the perfect finishing touch to your dishes, whether you're preparing a truffle-infused pasta or simply enhancing scrambled eggs. Shaving truffles with the right tool allows you to fully appreciate their luxurious texture and taste.

When you order Fresh Black Truffles, Truffle Butter, or a Truffle Slicer from Farmfetch, you’re not just buying a product—you’re supporting a family-run business from the UK with a passion for sustainable farming and exceptional quality. Shropshire Truffles takes pride in every truffle they harvest, ensuring that you receive the freshest, most aromatic truffles for your cooking.
