  • Supply Chain

    Everything begins in the green heart of Umbria, where our expert truffle hunters, accompanied by their loyal dogs, venture into the woods in search of truffles with the utmost respect for nature.

    We manage 900,000 square meters of truffle grounds and work continuously with more than 500 truffle hunters. Thanks to them, we can rely on a constant supply of top-quality fresh truffles throughout the year.

    01

    Harvesting is an ancient art requiring patience, sensitivity, and a deep knowledge of the land.

    02

    Once unearthed, the truffles undergo an initial manual selection to identify the finest specimens.

    03

    They are then gently brushed and washed to preserve every detail.

    04

    After this stage, the truffles are inspected a second time. A further manual selection distinguishes perfect specimens—first-grade truffles—from those that are slightly imperfect yet equally valuable—second-grade truffles. From here, the supply chain branches into two distinct paths.

    First-Grade Truffles

    First-grade truffles, intact and of superior quality, are carefully hand-packed and shipped to some of the world’s finest restaurants, where they become the stars of exceptional dishes.

    Second-Grade Truffles

    Second-grade truffles are destined for analysis and the creation of refined recipes, giving rise to truffle sauces, creams, and specialties supplied to gourmet stores, restaurants, and professional food service operators.

    Processing

    Product processing takes place on a large scale, yet always with artisanal care and respect for the raw ingredient.

    07

    Finally, everything that results from our work—whether fresh truffles or processed products—is carefully packaged and shipped worldwide, ready to reach those who, like us, believe in the value of authentic taste and tradition.

  • Sustainability

    Truffles are a true treasure of the earth, the result of delicate ecological balances and a symbol of the extraordinary environmental quality that characterizes our region.

    Water Conservation

    Our vision of the Green Economy is reflected in concrete, everyday actions. We have significantly reduced our use of public water supplies thanks to a recovery system that allows us to reuse rainwater after careful purification.

    Plastic-Free Packaging

    For us, sustainability is first and foremost a form of respect: for the woodlands, which we protect by carefully respecting natural harvesting periods and areas; for the environment, which we safeguard through responsible choices such as energy-saving systems and fully plastic-free packaging; and for the truffle itself, which we process with artisanal care, without preservatives or colorants, to preserve its authenticity.

    Energy Efficiency

    Energy sustainability is another cornerstone of our commitment: we generate clean energy through a 73 kW solar system, use low-emission thermal windows, and employ digitally controlled ventilation systems to improve efficiency and reduce consumption.

    FSC® Paper

    The choice of materials also follows environmental criteria: the paper we use comes exclusively from responsibly managed forests certified according to FSC® standards.

    All of this is made possible by our production facility, which follows Industry 4.0 principles. An advanced and automated system that enables us to optimize resources, minimize environmental impact, and ensure quality, efficiency, and respect for the landscape in which we operate.

    We proudly preserve the original recipes passed down through generations and invest firmly in the responsible cultivation of our truffle grounds. In doing so, we nurture and renew every day the authentic bond between people, nature, and product, remaining faithful to a vision centered on the balance and beauty of our land.
