About us

Truffles run deep in our family. Our journey began in 1911, in a charming little shop tucked away in the heart of Umbria, Italy. It was here that Sabatino Balestra and Giuseppina set out on an adventure that would shape our family’s destiny—one intertwined with the magic of truffles.

As our lands revealed their hidden treasures, our passion ignited. With every truffle unearthed, we became more devoted to sharing their extraordinary flavor with the world. What started as a humble pursuit grew into a lifelong mission: to source the finest truffles and craft high-quality products that bring this rare delicacy to your table.

For over a century, our love for truffles has only deepened—and our journey is far from over. From our family to yours, we invite you to experience the magic.

Truffles are among the rarest and most coveted foods on earth, often called the “diamonds of the earth” and “gems of the kitchen.” Their story stretches back to 1600 B.C., when ancient civilizations first marveled at their intoxicating aroma and unmatched flavor.

For centuries, these remarkable fungi have enchanted cultures, elevating even the simplest dishes into extraordinary experiences. Whether delicately shaved over fresh pasta or infused into oils and salts, truffles bring a touch of culinary magic that chefs and food lovers alike cherish.

A symbol of indulgence, mystery, and tradition, truffles have earned their place at the heart of the world’s finest kitchens—and their legacy continues to grow.
