Francesco loves his country.

Born and raised in Calabria, he walks towards his dreams and approaches them step by step.

His soul is sincere and positive because he is aware that every peak can be reached, if you really want it.

He knows that dreams have no limits if you don’t stop dreaming.

His place is in the Pollino mountains, in the heart of the National Park, among those peaks that rise not far from his hometown, Cosenza.

That mountainous massif of the southern Apennines, along the border between Basilicata and Calabria, is the place where Francesco finds himself.

And it is also the place where he loves to take his guests and all those who want to venture out in search of the Pollino truffle together with an expert truffle hunter and his faithful dog.

TRUFFLE FROM CALABRIA

The Black Truffle from Calabria comes from the shadows of the bushes of the Parco del Pollino.
A protected area that gives the truffle all the organoleptic properties necessary to guarantee the typical unique and delicate aroma.

There are several varieties that can be found in the Pollino region in different seasons.

This area can have a great diversity of species. To demonstrate this, here are  all the varieties that can be found in this area:

• Tuber mesentericum (black truffle)
• Tuber magnatum (white truffle)
• Tuber aestivum (summer truffle or scorzone)
• Tuber aestivum (uncinatum)
• Tuber brumale (black winter truffle)

These are all products of the earth, authentic gastronomic excellence that enrich the menus of many regional haute cuisine restaurants and make them more and more varied.
