Partnerships

Over the years we have made endless friends and partnerships throughout the industry; public and private. Below is a small sample of what we have done with our partners.

GIOVANNINI TARTUFI - (Truffle Hunting & Events)

Our family consists of artists, innovators & thinkers; most who express their visionary ideas & talents through the art of food. We all have our own unique individual style, yet we all share one thing in common: a great passion and dedication for our work. GIOVANNINI TARTUFI, is a Volterra based company operating in Tuscany. Their philosophy is focusing on the traditions in the land of Tuscany; focusing on the quality and its typicalness as they hunt products which speak directly to its origin. Emanuele's passion stems from his father, who over the years passed down his techniques, secret hunting grounds and most importantly his knowledge and tradition. Paired with his highly-skilled & trained tracking dogs, Emanuele gives his customers the complete truffle experience: history, technique, hunting and exquisite cuisine. Dolceria del Corso Catering & Banqueting is the official catering company of GIOVANNINI TARTUFI. As partners, we share the enthusiastic love for truffle, but more importantly the quality of products and the techniques in which the truffles are hunted and prepared.
