He then spent a year in California to further his training. Upon his return, he took over management of the orchard, growing peaches and pears. Albert suggested planting a few truffle oaks. The 1970s were a landmark period in the world of truffles with the introduction of mycorrhizal seedlings, which made it possible to inoculate the oak trees with the truffle fungus.<\/p><p>The first plot, consisting of holm oaks and white oaks, was planted in 1979, the year his son Frank was born, in keeping with family tradition. At the same time, he worked with INRA (the French National Institute for Agricultural Research) to improve our understanding of truffle groves. The research conducted made it possible to collect and analyze data to advance knowledge of truffle cultivation.<\/p><p>This collaboration lasted about ten years. Unfortunately, seedlings certified by organizations such as CTIFL or INRA do not guarantee truffle production. They guarantee mycorrhization. Once a young truffle tree is planted in a plot, many uncontrollable factors hinder the onset of truffle production. Based on our experience, the percentage of truffle-producing trees is around 20% of the plantation. This sapling, which was developed under ideal \u201claboratory\u201d conditions, is then transplanted into a natural environment. The presence of soil-borne pathogens, other fungi, and molds are all unpredictable factors that hinder truffle production.<\/p><p>In 1988, \u00c9ric stopped growing peaches to focus on growing pears. At the same time, as a result of his research and his interest in truffle cultivation, he continued to hone his skills in truffle production by working closely with some of the leading figures in the field and drawing on the lessons learned from his partnership with INRA.<\/p><p>In 1991, he decided to stop growing trees and focus on selling his truffle harvest.<\/p><p>In 1993, Eric sold his first crop of truffles at the renowned Carpentras market at the foot of Mont Ventoux.<\/p><p>1998: The founding of \u201cSARL La Truffe du Ventoux.\u201d As his customer base continued to grow thanks to his professionalism and legendary charisma, he established his truffle trading company and launched his line of truffle-based products.<\/p><p>In 2003, a room was set up to offer customers truffle discovery days. The concept involves sharing the world of truffles. This includes a discussion, learning about the truffle tree, the famous truffle hunt in the truffle fields overlooking Mont Ventoux with a truffle-hunting dog, and finally, a truffle tasting.<\/p><p>In 2008, Franck, his eldest son, who had trained in the hospitality industry, joined the company. He brought his own unique perspective to the family business, which made it possible to expand the range of truffle-related services, notably by creating those famous truffle-themed tasting menus.<\/p><p>In 2012, \u00c9ric and Franck restored the rest of the farmhouse into a bed-and-breakfast; they now offer truffle-themed weekends.<\/p><p>In 2014, it was his second son, Alexis, who joined the family business. With a background in food engineering, he brought his expertise in food production and adapted it to artisanal manufacturing.<\/p><p>In 2019, the two sons, Franck and Alexis JAUMARD, took up the torch by launching their own brand: \u201cLes Fr\u00e8res Jaumard, Truffle Producers &amp; Dealers\u201d<\/p><p>In fact, both sons have caught the truffle bug. More than just a passion, it\u2019s actually their profession.<\/p><p><span id=\"E111\" class=\"qowt-font3-Verdana\">These days, it's hard not to notice the family\u00a0<\/span><span id=\"E113\" class=\"qowt-font3-Verdana\">Jaumard<\/span><span id=\"E115\" class=\"qowt-font3-Verdana\">\u00a0when she\u2019s attending events in the region and around Mont Ventoux\u2014starting with the Carpentras Tennis Open, the C\u00f4t\u00e9 Sud fair in Aix-en-Provence, the Ch\u00e2teauneuf-du-Pape Spring Festival, the grape harvest festival in Avignon, and the wine festival in\u00a0<\/span><span id=\"E117\" class=\"qowt-font3-Verdana\">Vacqueyras<\/span><span id=\"E119\" class=\"qowt-font3-Verdana\">\u00a0and their presence at many wineries in the Ventoux and C\u00f4tes du Rh\u00f4ne regions for truffle and wine tastings.<\/span><\/p><p>By participating in our truffle discovery days, we don\u2019t claim to unravel the mysteries of truffle production, but we are delighted to share our passion for this exceptional mushroom.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>La truffe, notre univers Au pied du mont Ventoux, la famille Jaumard parcourt leurs truffi\u00e8res depuis trois g\u00e9n\u00e9rations.
