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 flavor. Michele's expertise on field, matured as a young man in a moment of great passion, leads him to a increasingly strong interest in this enigmatic world, which also infects his brother Raffaele. Together they begin to investigate the soils 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: enhance and highlight its history and quality.
Within a few years, the boys Mirko and Gianfranco, sons of the Sessa, joined the team, in a project that increasingly takes on the connotations of a large family business. A passion that soon became an advanced technique in the selection of truffles, in research and extraction, in transformation. A real craft activity to be handed down to the young people of their family and beyond, as representatives of a recognized and always evolving culture. One of the characteristics of the Sessa Tartufi philosophy, is to involve more and more generations.
