OUR STORY AND COMPANY MISSION

Acqualagna Tartufi S.r.l. specializes in the commercialization of fresh truffles and the transformation of these truffles into various long-life food specialties. Our company has more than 60 years of experience in the world of truffles thanks to the collection and marketing carried out by the well-known Marini family in Acqualagna. In 2004 Piergiorgio Marini, with his wife Emanuela Bartolucci, decided to separate from the historical family business to found their own, more innovative, and structured one.
The purchase of numerous state-of-the-art machinery has enabled us to process our food products better and extensively. Thanks to the contribution of expert food technologists, we have managed to maintain the traditional recipes and prepare the products artisanally; the company has been able to extend the products’ cooking process on a large scale and accelerate and automate the phases of storing, sealing, sterilization, and labelling the stored products.

In recent years, the company has restructured itself commercially in a managerial manner to control the domestic market better and compete on a large scale in international markets, where competition for Made in Italy agri-food excellence has become increasingly aggressive.
Our mission is now focused on positioning the historic “Acqualagna Tartufi” brand among the first worldwide, aware of the qualitative superiority of the white truffle of Acqualagna and the variety of truffles that its territory can offer all year round. The Magnatum Pico of Acqualagna, together with Alba, is the only one that enjoys a designation of origin; because of that Italian Parliament is currently working on a new law in order to protect such designation (D.O.P.): the superior white truffles can only be from Alba or Acqualagna. Acqualagna is famously known worldwide as the capital of the “fresh truffle all year round”, a real-world crossroads of truffle production, trade, and tasting. Acqualagna is the only city that boasts such a diversified territorial collection of the 9 types of existing truffles and as many as three national/regional fairs of white truffles, superior black truffles, and summer black truffles.
