    The Truffle Card is an exclusive one-year service that we offer our customers. Purchasing the Card, via the standard check-out process, gives you two benefits:

    1. access to the RESERVED AREA that leads to our “e-Truffle” shop dedicated to truffles, where you can choose exactly what you receive at home, and view every single piece in advance.
    2. In addition, by purchasing the Truffle Card you will be entitled to a 10% discount on the entire Appennino Food Truffles preserved product range (with the exception of fresh products).

    You can immediately access the RESERVED AREA after purchase. It is accessed using your login details for the Shop.

    The Truffle Card is valid for one year.

    - What is the RESERVED AREA and how can I access it?

    The RESERVED AREA can only be accessed by those who have purchased the TRUFFLE CARD (See FAQ “What is the TRUFFLE CARD and how does it work?”).Those who have made this purchase can access the area using their SHOP registration login details.

    8. What is the difference between buying truffles through Appennino Food Shop or the e-Truffle Reserved Area?

    it’s very simple APPENNINO FOOD SHOP allows you to buy your preferred type and quantity of truffle without seeing exactly what you will receive. The image is for illustrative purposes only and we will choose, according to availability, which truffles to send to complete your order.
    By accessing the e-Truffle | RESERVED AREA, you can choose a specific truffle batch to buy. Therefore before you make a payment, you will know exactly which and how many truffles will arrive. Naturally, in this case too you can choose the type and weight. The benefit is seeing precisely which products you will receive. You can access this exclusive service by purchasing the TRUFFLE CARD (see FAQ “What is the TRUFFLE CARD and how does it work?”).
    9.    What does “Pre-Order” mean when purchasing FRESH TRUFFLE?

    Truffles are a product that comes from the earth and every time of year gives us products with different characteristics.
    On our website, we offer you the truffles of the season, but we allow you to “PRE-ORDER” your favourite type.> The pre-order is not binding: it is a no-cost purchase for which you only need to register on the site without entering any payment details (unless you are also making other purchases. In this event, in no case will we use the payment details for the truffle “pre-order”).
    We will notify you by email when your chosen truffles are available. You can then decide whether to buy them and enjoy them in advance or whether to postpone or cancel the purchase. It’s up to you!
