The products made with seasonal truffles are a guarantee of quality. Directly harvested by the truffle hunter and immediately processed so as to preserve all their organoleptic characteristics. It is no coincidence that the company is located right in Mugello. This area represents one of the nine D.O.C. zones recognised by the Tuscany region for the harvesting of Tuber Mugnatum Pico, that is, the exquisite and famous white truffle. The Tonno del Chianti al Tartufo is the result of an ancient Tuscan recipe. Prepared with pork slow-cooked at low temperature for a prolonged time together with aromatic herbs. Once cooked, the loin is cut into fillets. Processed in the same way as tuna and preserved in oil. Hence the name Tonno del Chianti al Tartufo, in this version enriched with slices of summer black truffle.
