Our history

Truffle hunters for generations

Stefania Calugi Tartufi is much more than just a truffle products company. It is the result of a deep passion passed down through generations: the search for truffles. Our family-owned business has its roots embedded in the past, when Stefania’s great-grandfather Antonio and grandfather Guido were the first to cultivate this love for the land and its precious fruits. Thanks to them, Stefania’s father, Renato, also grew up immersed in the world of truffles, without ever imagining that this passion would one day transform into a highly respected and successful business.

“È la qualità senza compromessi che riesce a distinguere le cose e a renderle uniche nel tempo.”"
