EUGENIO BREZZI & C SNC DI BREZZI VALDIMIRO

The history of our company is linked to the history of our family, the founder EUGENIO BREZZI, my father, discovered truffles at the end of the twenties of the last century, when my grandfather Pietro took him to pick pine trees in the pinewoods of the Tuscan Maremma. During those long days of work, my father was drawn to a man who, walking through the pine forest with his dog, seemed to be looking for hidden treasure. With the curiosity of a child and an enterprising spirit, he followed the "strange couple" until he saw the dog stop, start to scratch the ground and bark happily. The man bent down and picked up something, patted the dog and they both left, clearly satisfied with the result of their search. My father approached cautiously and examined what was left of the precious find, taking a few small fragments of what must have been a fragrant and precious truffle. Jokingly, wanting to imitate the game he had witnessed, and with a glimmer of intuition, he took the little pieces home and let his dog Lola smell them. Then she started hiding the pieces and every time Lola found them, she was rewarded. And so began the story of this "great little truffle hunter".
