OUR VALUES

Truffles are a typically Italian subterranean treasure, which grows and develops only in certain areas with specific, perfectly balanced characteristics.
Amongst the most suitable of these is the Apennines, where the best white and black truffles in the world grow spontaneously.
Knowing how to identify them, harvest them, preserve them and process them has always been our pride and our mission, in full respect of the living material and the environment in which they develop.
Through the culture of the fresh truffle, we at Appennino Food Truffles protect, preserve and share our respect for the local area, promoting the subterranean treasure offered to us by the land, along with a gastronomic culture which is synonymous with Italy all around the world.
Each and every day we strive to preserve the quality of these truffles and respect their nature, from the time we find them in our woods and throughout the entire washing, packaging and expedited shipping processes, handling them with the care that befits such a precious product.
This is how our intuition, combined with an encyclopaedic knowledge of our local area, guides us towards the truffles.

SUBTERRANEAN EXPERTISE

Our profound knowledge of the territory, just like the truffle, is born of a synergy with the local environment. It is the result of our relationship with our land, the Apennines, a habitat in which different species of truffles – including the exquisite white truffle – grow spontaneously into a buried treasure. Only thanks to our passion for the woods, our profound knowledge of the environment, our respect for the truffles and our skill in handling them, we can share our precious fresh truffles with the rest of the world.

THE “SPA” OF FRESH TRUFFLES

Harvesting truffles is an act of trust in the woods and their noble inhabitants, who for thousands of years have grown at the foot of ancient oaks, lime trees, poplars and willows. Amongst their roots, the humus, rich in spores, creates rich and prolific undergrowth, which we can navigate with our eyes closed. Our commitment is what protects, preserves and spreads this ancestral knowledge, to protect its natural freshness, from the moment the truffle is dug out of the ground until it dresses up the dishes of the world’s best chefs.

THE PHASES OF

FRESH TRUFFLES

Our truffles are harvested by truffle hunters using traditional methods in the woods of the Italian Apennines. Once dug out of the ground, the truffles are quickly brought to our facility for cleaning, removing all residue of dirt from their surface. After this, we photograph each truffle and add it to those available in our shop: in the short time before it is shipped, it is kept in dedicated refrigerators, which allow it to be held at the ideal humidity and temperature.

FRESH TRUFFLES AROUND THE WORLD

When a truffle is purchased, we package it in a box which preserves its freshness during shipping, which takes at the most one day. Rapid delivery times are a further guarantee in preserving the freshness of our truffles, while they travel across the globe in record time to be used in the kitchens of the world’s best restaurants.
By sending the flavour of the Apennines’ best fresh truffles all over the world, we invite thousands of connoisseurs, chefs and gourmets to participate in our area’s culture, through its aspect of which we are most proud: the fresh truffle, the noble subterranean fruit of our forests, the inimitable star of the Italian culinary tradition.
