THE HISTORY OF US

THE HISTORY OF US

Ganymede was bought impulsively one afternoon in 2005 when galvanised into action in a violent and contrary response to an architect’s wildly excessive renovation estimate.

Before any building began over 3000 native trees were planted and this has become an ongoing project. The increased birds, frogs and wildlife that emerged from this are spectacular and a never ending source of fascination (but I’m digressing as this has absolutely nothing to do with truffles!!!)

SOUTHERN TABLELANDS

SOUTHERN TABLELANDS

Ganymede is located in New South Wales in the Southern Tablelands just outside Marulan with the name chosen after a course in astronomy at the Sydney Observatory.

With infertile, rocky soil, regular frosts and a climate ranging from as low as -7.8 to 36 degrees (using 2015 figures) we are, it turns out, ideally situated for growing truffles. The frosts are in fact a critical factor. The more frost truffles experience, the more intense their perfume.

The first trufferie was planted in 2009. In a leap of faith, we planted a second in 2011. Altogether we have just under 900 trees on 2.5 hectares. Both trufferies are planted with 2 types of oaks – English (Quercus Robur) and Holly (Quercus Ilex) – together with hazelnut trees. Our first truffle was harvested in 2012 and since then Ganymede’s production has grown steadily.

The truffle harvest takes place each year from the beginning of June to the start of September and locating them has all the flavour and excitement of a treasure hunt.

“If you’re a foodie and you’re into truffles – and who isn’t – let me tell you about Ganymede Truffles. These wonderfully fragrant truffles are grown in the Southern Tablelands, and in my opinion, having visited France, are as full of aroma and taste as their French cousins. And the good news is you can easily order online and have them delivered to your door. Truly delicious.”
