What do you mean by “Diamonds of the earth”..?

Truffles are one of the rarest foodstuffs in the world and have long been appreciated through the centuries as one of the most prized ingredient in the culinary arts. These mushroom are so special that they are known as "diamonds of the earth" or "jewels of the kitchen”. 

Sabatino Tartufi was founded in 1911 in Umbria when Sabatino Balestra and his wife Giuseppina began hunting for truffles on their land and then developing high quality truffle products for their clients.

What is the aim of your business?

Truffles are not just a food but an experience to savour which anyone can experience, that is why we export only the most prized truffles and range of products of the highest quality; products that are the result of the coming together of modern technology and our own traditional recipes.

Today our freshly stored truffles arrive in every type of kitchen, whether it be that of the family or those of the most celebrated Chefs in the world.
