Perigord Truffles of Tasmania
The unearthing of a French black truffle in northern Tasmania
on June 18th 1999 was the culmination of eight years work by the 
Chairmen of Perigord Truffles of Tasmania (PTT), Duncan Garvey and Peter Cooper
who pioneered the French Truffle industry in Australia.. The
discovery represented the attainment of a key goal in their efforts to establish a
successful new industry in Australia.
PTT was the first company in Australia to develop a truffle industry. The site of the first truffle harvest is one of many sites where Perigord Truffles of Tasmania produced the inoculated trees for a truffière grown under a joint venture arrangement with the grower.
PTT has strengthened its position as the pre-eminent truffle company in Australia. We have achieved this by
- Bringing together Australia's best people in the fields of truffle production, harvesting and gastronomy,
- Dealing with all aspects of the industry including tree inoculation, research and development, harvesting, truffle importing and marketing,
- Developing the truffle market both domestically and internationally
