The black truffle season is about to begin. And with it comes one of the most special times of the year for our family: working once again with a unique, delicate and extraordinary product.

At our company, we believe that the quality of a truffle does not depend solely on its origin or its characteristics in the field. It also depends on how it is handled after harvesting. That is why, when our truffles arrive at our facilities, each and every one receives individual care and attention.

As you already know, the black truffle, Tuber melanosporum, is a delicate product. Its irregular shape, skin and structure mean that it must be handled with particular care throughout the entire process. We have therefore chosen a method that requires time, patience and, above all, dedication: we wash and brush our truffles one by one, by hand.

This is not an automated process in which every truffle receives exactly the same treatment. Each truffle passes through our hands and is cleaned according to its own characteristics. It is meticulous work, but for us, it is an essential part of the quality of the product.

Although it is a time-consuming process, the reason behind this decision is clear, and it goes far beyond simply achieving a clean and attractive truffle. We want to carefully remove the soil that remains attached to its surface while respecting the integrity of each individual piece as much as possible.

Handling a truffle too roughly can cause small breaks, cracks or surface damage. That is why we use a manual brushing and washing process, paying close attention to every single one. The difference often lies in those small details that cannot be seen in the field, but can certainly be appreciated when the product reaches the other side of the world.

Our work begins long before the truffle reaches the customer. We select, handle, clean and prepare each piece with one goal in mind: preserving its best qualities throughout the marketing and export process.

At a time when many processes are becoming increasingly faster and more automated, we still believe in the value of taking the time to do certain things properly.

This work is part of the way we understand our product and also part of our identity as a company. We know how important it is to take care of every detail when working with such a special product as the black truffle, Tuber melanosporum.
