The unearthing of a French black truffle in Tasmania on June 18th 1999 was the culmination of eight years work by the Chairmen of Perigord Truffles of Tasmania (PTT), Duncan Garvey and Peter Cooper who pioneered the French Truffle industry in Australia.. The discovery represented the attainment of a key goal in their efforts to establish a successful new industry in Australia.
PTT was the first company in Australia to develop a truffle industry. The site of the first truffle harvest is one of many sites where Perigord Truffles of Tasmania produced the inoculated trees for a truffière grown under a joint venture arrangement with the grower.
PTT is now located in the Huon Valley of Southern Tasmania.
