Flashforward 90 years and Maison Plantin truffles are now among the most distinguished and highly sought-after truffles in Dubai and in the world. From the US and Japan to Singapore, the UAE, and the tables of Elysée and the greatest French chefs, Maison Plantin black truffle is a name revered by many.
Those who’ve worked with their truffles and woodland mushrooms know of no other option that boasts a depth of flavor or aromas that are in any way superior. Since its founding, Maison Plantin has very much established itself as a main supplier of truffles to the grand tables of France. Established in 1930, yet it wasn’t until 1986 that Hervé Poron took over the mantle and proceeded to grow Maison Plantin black truffleinto the export titan that exists today.
Today, Poron’s work is continued by his son Christopher Poron and Nicholas Rouhier – the pair have remained true to the time-honored traditions that define Maison Plantin.
