Birth<\/p>\n\t\t

It all began in 1985 when Mr. Angelo Palombo, a lifelong enthusiast of crops and a nature lover, developed a passion for the art of truffle hunting. He was extremely successful in this endeavor, so much so that over the years his passion developed into a successful business.<\/p>\n\t\t

DEVELOPMENT<\/p>\n\t\t

In the early 1990s, Mr. Angelo, along with his children Sandra and Vittorio, acquired shares in the San Pietro Avellana company, located in the town of the same name, eventually taking over the business entirely in 1995. He significantly expanded production, experimenting with new products and creating new recipes that quickly established themselves on the market. He also expanded the sale of fresh truffles, the gold of the earth, the fruit of whole searching days, dirty boots, commitment, passion, dedication and pleasure.<\/p>\n\t\t
