Tartufi e Funghi Fortunati Antonio

What Tartufi e Funghi Fortunati Antonio does

Tartufi e Funghi Fortunati Antonio Srl is a family-run Italian company headquartered in Campello Sul Clitunno, Umbria, that produces, preserves, and sells truffles and mushrooms. Founded in the early 1980s by truffle hunter Antonio Fortunati, the company has operated continuously for over 40 years and expanded from fresh-truffle collection into preserved and frozen specialties since 1998. Its product portfolio covers fresh truffles (white, black, summer, uncinato, bianchetto), preserved truffles in brine, blast-chilled frozen truffles and porcini, a range of truffle- and mushroom-based specialties (sauces, creams, pastas, oils, butters, honeys, gift boxes), and complementary Umbrian regional products. Production relies on natural preservation methods without chemical additives and a proprietary blast-chilling technique; the company has held biological/organic production certification since July 2014.

The business operates a multi-channel go-to-market. The primary route is a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront at forrunatiantonio.it shipping within Italy (free over €100) and internationally with temperature-controlled packaging, supported by an active blog, newsletter promotions (10% first-order discount), Black Friday bundles (10-50% off), and social media on Facebook and Twitter. A physical retail point of sale in Pigge di Trevi (Perugia) serves walk-in customers and acts as the meeting point for the Truffle Experience, a paid guided truffle-hunt service offered in Italian and English. A dedicated B2B division supplies restaurants, hotels, and food distributors, and the company actively exhibits at international food trade shows (TUTTOFOOD Milan, Sirha Lyon, Sial Paris, Golositalia Brescia). The company is privately held by the founding family with no external investment, registered as an Italian Srl with €10,000 paid-up capital, and operates with 11-50 employees across two locations.
