Our brand, l’Or des Valois
L’Or des Valois : a brand dedicated to the Burgundy truffle
The Burgundy truffle was the first to grace the tables of the kings of France. The Dukes of Burgundy, renowned gourmets and great hosts, championed the flavours of their region, spreading Burgundian gastronomy throughout the kingdom of France. The truffle from our region, celebrated at their banquets, was also prized by their cousins, the Valois. This culinary treasure experienced a period of near-forgotten splendour at the beginning of the 20th century… until today.
A passion reignited since 2003
For over 20 years, L’Or des Valois has been working to restore the Burgundy truffle to its former glory.

Burgundy Truffle : the expertise of L’Or des Valois
The Burgundy Truffle season begins on 15 September and ends on 15 January. During this period, L’Or des Valois offers fresh truffles for sale in its Dijon shop. Delicate and precious, the Burgundy truffle is best enjoyed raw to preserve its full flavour. Combined with a fat such as — butter, cream or oil, — it reveals its full aromatic intensity.
Alcohol helps capture the aromas of the truffle while preserving it for several years.
That’s why we’ve chosen to preserve our truffles in alcohol. Thanks to this method, the truffle can be used as needed, whether to enhance your dishes, sauces, or terrines. It couldn’t be simpler: just take the required amount of truffles, remembering to use the infused alcohol to intensify the flavour.
