The Tartufi Alfonso Fortunati, today Fortunati Stocchi S.r.l., was founded in 1972 by the passion and intuitions of the founder Alfonso Fortunati who, together with his wife Annunziata, passed on to their children the love and enthusiasm to continue the family tradition with the same values. The farm is located in Campello sul Clitunno, in the heart of Umbria, a region famous for the black truffle, known and appreciated all over the world. In the very first periods of activity the company’s core business is strictly oriented to the marketing of fresh truffles. Over the years, the demand of customers leads the company to grow and invest in the business, while always maintaining its original artisanal nature and an ethical approach aimed at promoting and safeguarding the territory. The processing of truffles follows highly complex techniques, which, always respecting an ancient tradition, allow the company to obtain the best possible relationship between product quality and quality perceived by the end customer. Food safety, the maintenance of the balance man/ nature and the commitment to use only high quality and highly selected materials are the guiding thread to all the work of Fortunati Stocchi. The use of green electricity, the drying in solar greenhouse and the constant presence in technological innovation activities for product safety are all fundamental elements for the creation of a perfect synergy with agro-forestry regulations.The obtaining of international BRC and IFS certifications relating to food quality and safety and the special recognition for "artisanal and artistic" productions by the Italian Chamber of Commerce, are the synthesis of a company policy, always focused on research and development of new products of excellence. The goal, through the right channels and commercial strategies is to be able to reach all kinds of markets, from the large distribution, to the high gastronomy store, from home cuisine to that of the starred restaurant, always ensuring a service of the highest level, maximum reliability and of course absolute product quality. This is the philosophy and the key to the success of Fortunati Stocchi
