Valnerina Tartufi s.r.l. «I went to the woods [because]
I wanted to live deep, and suck all the marrow of life ....» A noble passion that leads to the pursuit of authenticity and pureness. A noble passion that our grandfather shared. A noble passion that our father and our uncle shared. A noble passion that we, as daughter and son, could not give up. It is for that passion that Valnerina Tartufi was born, and for us this is much more than a simple business. It is ambition that allows us to create a place where the original spirit of the conservation of Umbrian agricultural traditions meets the innovation of the competitive and latest production and logistic processes. The love we have for our job shows us that we are taking the right path. The union of ambition, humbleness, care, willingness, moral values and propensity for risk represents the strength and the support we want to transfer into our activity. Into our Diamond. But the whole basis of our activity lays on the sense of endless research of the fruit, authentic taste and flavour masterpiece, that our land gives to us: the truffle. The firm Valnerina Tartufi was born on April 2007, from the strong desire of Elisabetta and Leonardo. Nevertheless, our business would not have existed without the more than fiftyyear-old experience of the entire Matteucci family, without the fundamental contribution of dozens of truffle hunters who consider us the benchmark that makes the most of their wise and methodical work. Our truffles, the result of nature’s hard work, grow in the luxuriant area of Valnerina, the green heart of Italy, in the shade of oaks, poplars and lime trees that grow in the Podere Matteucci, in a protected and enviable habitat. The products that derive from this environment retain the taste and the flavour of our woods. Our work, and in the past our grandfather's and father's work, only aims to enhance the products of our land. We sell our products fresh or packed in jars, without any other spices, additives or preservatives. The olive oil from our land ensures a perfect conservation of the flavour in the jar and of all the truffle’s characteristics, enhancing all its organoleptic properties.
