Truffle Types & Seasons
Understand when each truffle variety is in season. Truffle seasons are real, but restaurant availability is still driven by sourcing, price, and chef choice. Think of this calendar as a guide to when each truffle is typically mature in the wild and in truffle orchards. For live restaurant reports, use the NYC Restaurants page—and always confirm directly with the restaurant.
