The operation
You have at your disposal two third of the plantation of our oak trees. After
having searched, selected, analyzed the lands, we have planted oak trees which
have been mycorhized and certified INRA. By gathering all this knowledge, we are controlling the truffle culture (trufficulture).
We are planting 450 oak trees of at least one year old on each hectare (2471
acres). The first harvestings are possible as early as the fifth year. A truffle-field
well kept can produce for 25 years long.
Being the owner of oak trees ( numbered and referenced on each piece of land),
you will be interested in half of the production of the truffle-field in proportion
to the number of oak trees owned, the other half being used for the upkeep of
the truffle-field.
Exemple
:
The production that year, is 53 kg for one hectare, that is to say 318 kg for
the piece of land.
Mr Morin will receive, then, 59 x 20 oak trees , that is to say 1 kg 180 of black
truffles.
Mr Morin will be able to please his friends thanks to simple recipes.
Mr Morin is the owner of 20 oak trees on “ Les Sacristains” ( name of the piece
of land).
The area of “Les Sacristains” is 6 hectares, namely 2700 oak trees.
That is to say, for one oak tree ( 318 x 1.000) / 2.700 = 118 grams for one oak
tree.
Out of this production, half will be used for the upkeep of the truffle-field
and the other half to Mr Morin.
At the present rate of the truffle ( 1000 euros for one kilo, professional price)
Mr Morin received this year the equivalent of 1.180 euros of black truffles.
