La Nouvelle République reports today that the 2009/10 truffle season has been hit by the recent cold weather – too much ice and snow. December started well but the weather in January and now into February has hit the production of truffles with the last truffle market of the season at Marigny-Marmande (the leading truffle market in the Loire) having only seven kilos to sell. Overall this year France has produced only 15 tonnes of black truffles compared to 50 last season.
