Sessa Tartufi

It all begins in a truffle laboratory in Alessandria, a place where Michele Sessa's passion and love for the art of truffle growing slowly grows, in the vivid and enthusiastic imagination of his youth.                               
                                           
The truffle is an underground mushroom and above all, in the Italian gastronomic tradition, it is a product of great value, rare and with a sophisticated flavour. 
Michele's expertise in the field, developed as a young man in a moment of great passion, leads him to an increasingly stronger interest in this enigmatic world, which also infects his brother Raffaele. 
Together they begin to investigate the lands of Southern Italy, discovering an underground treasure. 
In 1990 Michele and Raffaele Sessa created Sessa Tartufi, specialized in the selection, production and marketing of truffles from Southern Italy, with an ambitious mission: to enhance and highlight their history and quality.                               
                                           
Within a few years, the boys Mirko and Gianfranco, sons of the Sessas, also joined the team, in a project that increasingly took on the characteristics of a large family business. 
A passion that soon becomes advanced technique in the selection of truffles, in the research and extraction, in the transformation. 
A true artisanal activity to be passed down to the young people of their family and beyond, as representatives of a recognized and ever-evolving culture. 
One of the characteristics of the Sessa Tartufi philosophy is to involve more and more generations.
