Mundaring Truffle Festival

If you’re like me, you’ve probably never tried truffle. As the second most expensive food commodity in the world at $2000 a kilogram, they’re certainly not the most economical of vegetables.

It’s a little-known fact that WA is now a major producer of truffles and within 10 years is hoping to challenge Europe for a share of the prestigious market in Japan and China. What better way to celebrate this prized ingredient that with a festival:

The inaugural Mundaring Truffle Festival has been designed as a celebration of this most desirable of edible commodities, and brings together some of Australia’s finest chefs. We also have a wonderful programme of complementary events, including tastings, talks and food-related forums for those interested in learning about not just the truffle itself, but how to make use of its unique culinary qualities.

So please, come and join us in Mundaring, in the beautiful Perth Hills, where we’ll be offering good food, fine wine and a range of activities in celebration of Western Australia’s most glamorous culinary export: the black truffle.

Check out the offical programme on the Mundaring Truffle Festival website for a full run down on all the super gastronomic events they have planned.
