Ilsar Truffles

Ilsar Truffles Overview

Ilsar applies advanced natural agro-technologies to cultivate top-quality black winter truffles (Tuber melanosporum). Its nursery facility is designed for data tracking, controlling, and monitoring the early stages of the truffle cultivation lifecycle, and it is 100% solar powered and eco-friendly. To initiate the mycorrhiza and the journey toward truffle fruiting, Ilsar inoculates every seedling root system with prequalified truffle spores and tags them with a unique data tracking ID code. The mycorrhiza grows and covers the tree root, allowing the absorption of minerals with its hairy structure. Over the next 912 months, the inoculated plants are kept in climate-, irrigation-, and environment-controlled growing rooms, designed to eliminate contamination from foreign fungi species. Following micro-element testing, the soil composition is optimized for truffle farming, and a computerized irrigation system is installed. Ilsar-partnered farmers then plant the orchards with qualified plants from its nursery.

Ilsar raises $5m to market Israeli truffles worldwide

Israeli startup Ilsar Truffles has completed a $5 million financing round led by AP Partners. The company cultivates rare and expensive black winter truffles using advanced biological technology. Ilsar has developed a complex cultivation process over the past eight years and plans to commercialize the truffles on international markets. The natural growing habitat of black winter truffles in Europe has significantly reduced due to climate change and other factors, leading to a decrease in supply and an increase in demand. Ilsar aims to become a major player in the international truffles market and expects to generate annual revenue of tens of millions of dollars.

סטארטאפ ישראלי מצליח לגדל פטריות כמהין באמצעות Big Data

Israeli startup ILSAR claims to have cracked the concept of growing luxury mushrooms using new technologies, and aims to make Israel a global exporter of mushrooms. The company has developed a system for cultivating mushrooms that starts in a lab, where a biological connection is created between almond and hazelnut seedlings and black mushroom spores. The seedlings are then grown in a greenhouse until they are transplanted into a simulated natural growth environment. ILSAR already operates in the Golan Heights and plans to expand its operations. The startup recently completed a $5 million funding round led by AP Partners, which will be used for further research and agricultural technologies.
