Savini Tartufi

What Savini Tartufi does

Savini Tartufi is a family-owned Italian specialty food company founded in 1920 and headquartered in Forcoli (Pisa), Tuscany, now in its fourth generation under the Savini family. Its core product is fresh truffle (Tartufo fresco) sourced through a network of over 600 truffle hunters (cavatori) whose harvest is personally selected by Luciano Savini. Around this raw material the company has built a catalog spanning jarred preserved truffles, BIO-certified organic truffle products, truffle pasta and risotto, creams and sauces (the flagship being Crema con Parmigiano Reggiano e tartufo), truffle-infused condiments including a co-developed balsamic product with Il Borgo del Balsamico called Giotto, specialty foods (chocolate, honey, charcuterie, cheese, snacks), gift kits, and truffle preparation accessories.

The business operates a platform-plus-modules model in which the core raw truffle anchors a wide assortment of value-added packaged goods. Technology is limited to standard third-party integrations: Feedaty for customer reviews, bookingkit for experience reservations, and Google Maps API for the store locator; no proprietary AI/ML, public API, or mobile app exists. The company has two registered offices (operational HQ in Forcoli and legal seat in Palaia) plus two Tokyo retail stores, with active multi-language e-commerce storefronts priced in EUR and USD and international shipping in 2–3 days.

Savini Tartufi monetizes through three channels: DTC e-commerce product sales (fresh and packaged truffles priced $3–$420 with free shipping from €80); truffle hunting experiences and the Truffle Academy (€100–€290 per person) booked via bookingkit; and B2B/retail distribution through Mercato Centrale gourmet food halls in Florence, Milan, and Rome, plus international retail in Tokyo. The customer base spans individual gourmet enthusiasts, gift buyers, restaurants and food service, and experience-seeking culinary tourists. The company also operates sub-brands Truffle Academy (chef/restaurateur certification) and Truffle Experience (immersive tours), and runs content marketing through a recipe blog and social channels with 9.8K+ Instagram followers.

Product overview

Savini Tartufi is a family-owned Italian specialty food company (operating since 1920, four generations) selling truffle-based gourmet food products through an e-commerce platform. The core offering is fresh truffle (Tartufo fresco), supplemented by preserved jarred truffle (Tartufo in barattolo) and a BIO-certified organic sub-line. The product portfolio is organized around a platform-plus-modules model: the core raw truffle is the foundation, surrounded by prepared food modules including pasta al tartufo (Tagliolini, Pici, Carbonara), riso al tartufo, creme e salse al tartufo (creams and sauces, including the flagship Crema con Parmigiano Reggiano e tartufo), and condimenti al tartufo (oils, butters, salts, vinegars). The Specialità line extends into confectionery (Cioccolatini, Miele, Fichi), charcuterie (Salame, Pancetta, Bocconcini), and snacks (Patatine, Mandorle, Grissini). Gift packaging (Kit e confezioni regalo) and cooking accessories (affetta tartufi, grattugia, taglieri) round out the catalog alongside a dedicated Truffle Hunting Experiences service offering in-person tours in Tuscany. The company also maintains a blog with recipes, a store locator, and multi-language site versions (Italian, English, US English). No public API or AI/ML capabilities are offered.
