The land of Tuscany has seen many mythical and contradictory figures like the robber, the poacher and the wood-cutter, but there were also those who, like the very first men, simply went in search of the fruits of the forest, those who collected snails, picked mushrooms and searched for truffles.
About 70 years ago, with help of his dog, Eugenio Brezzi set off to track down a rare underground mushroom, both firm and fleshy, whose intoxicating fragrance and exquisite flavour had already led the ancient Greeks to believe that its creation came about each time a peal of thunder discharged its energy onto the earth. These were the years immediately after the war when the forest represented , as it still does, shelter, a refuge and even sustenance. Thus, for pleasure and necessity, Eugenio began his search for truffles, going on to build up his very own family business for the processing of truffles and the manufacture of truffle products. The small firm grew rapidly, making a name for itself internationally.
Today,in fact, in the best restaurants and delicatessen's all over the world, Eugenio's old pastime can be found transformed into a wide variety of products - simple, genuine and natural products which delight and satisfy even the most discerning palates, evoking the fragrance of the forest, the magical sight of black and white tubers and the excitement of the man who once found them and started to collect them.
