It all started with love: the love for truffles. We are a team of enthusiasts who all share a passion for these precious mushrooms. We believe in the incredible quality and fascinating taste and want to share this pleasure with the world!
Taste the Gusto!
I, Antonio Leo, founder and CEO of Tartufo.com, being a lover of good food and traditional flavours, dedicate myself to bring the truffle market from Alba in Italy to the world with our global marketplace for fresh truffles, directly from the truffle hunter, and exquisite truffle products.
This new and exciting way of trading in the truffle world makes it possible to buy and sell truffles online worldwide. The heart and soul of Tartufo.com is our community: the truffle hunters who use Tartufo.com to sell their high quality truffles, and the customers who are looking for the freshest specimens, straight from the source. We offer truffle hunters a convenient place to sell all their special goods. At the same time, we enable buyers to discover and purchase unique truffles that are traded with care.
Tartufo.com is not only an online marketplace around fresh truffles and truffle products, but also a platform where you can read and learn all about the fascinating world of truffles, the different truffle species, their cultivation and special recipes.
Welcome to our truffle paradise!
