Le Vie del Tartufo

An Umbrian agri-food processor working in the truffle sector, operating processing and packaging lines that turn raw truffles into finished food products for human consumption. The captured page is largely a set of statutory EU and regional funding disclosures, and what it establishes is the shape of the operation rather than a marketing pitch: the company has invested in modernizing and strengthening its truffle processing and packaging lines, extended its plant with new offices, an adapted production facility and expanded buildings for unloading raw materials and storing finished product, and purchased machinery and equipment specifically for truffle processing. Those works were supported under Measure 421 of the Umbria 2014-2020 programme and, for a project called "Terre del Tartufo", under the Umbria RDP 2014/2020 Measure 16, sub-measure 16.4, with roughly EUR 748,000 of qualifying expenditure and about EUR 299,000 of approved support. That project centers on short-supply-chain cooperation in truffle growing: the company buys directly from regional truffle farms, acts as the sole intermediary between growers and the market, and handles every stage needed to bring the finished product to market, while participating farms establish truffle plantations dedicated to the chain. The stated aim is added value from regional processing of certified locally sourced truffles. Commercially the company works international trade channels, having exhibited at CIBUS 2024 in Parma, TFWA 2024 in Cannes and SIAL 2024 in Paris with support from an ERDF 2021-2027 SME internationalization programme, which points to export and travel-retail ambitions alongside domestic Italian distribution.
