1932 -
Thus was born Maison de la Truffe in 1932, the jeweler providing this culinary diamond to the most delicate palates in France and abroad, offering multiple varieties of truffles and truffle products. Brokers are the people on whom the sale of truffled, or « rabasse » in the local dialect, depends. They act as intermediaries between truffle finers and packers/retailers, who visit the markets to identify the best truffles, thanks to their experience and ancestral know-how. It was this know-how and experience on the ground that enabled Maison de la Truffe to instantly establish itself as a luxury reference for quality ; its shop on Place de la Madeleine has since become a meeting place for gourmets. Brokers in the famed town of Carpentras, know and renowned for its traditional wholesale truffle market, had the (excellent) idea of creating Maison de la Truffe to sell their truffles directly to Parisians.
