In the early 1850s, Constantino Urbani dedicated himself to truffles. At the time, the rare tuber — which only grows wild in the forests of central and northern Italy — was almost unknown to the outside world. Passionate about the earthy, aromatic ingredient (we totally get it), Constantino wanted to spread the good word. He succeeded.

More than 160 years later, Urbani Truffles is the world’s most esteemed distributor of Italian truffles. Paolo and Bruno Urbani, the sixth generation, guide the company following their inherited passion for truffles, which they grew up learning about and loving. Even now, the brothers are training their children to follow the company’s mission to share the best quality truffles with the world.
