■ Truffle oil made by truffle experts What they wanted to create with this white truffle oil was to infuse the EXV olive oil with the vivid and elegant aroma inherent in the white truffle. It has an elegant truffle scent but is gentle enough to harmonize with food, and can be used for a variety of things such as meat dishes, salads, pasta, and pizza. ■ Organic farming of truffles Truffles grow naturally at the base of oak (oak) that grows in forests and cannot be artificially cultivated. Truffles spread with spores, but they also take root in the place where they grew or are carried by truffle-eating animals such as snails, hedgehogs, and squirrels. So, what is different from the organic that Karrouj acquires is the soil in which truffles grow. Since truffles absorb substances present in the soil, truffle forests that have been certified organic are engaged in the following initiatives. ・Enhancement of biological diversity ・Prohibition of the use of synthetic chemicals and GMOs ・Management of pollution of agroecosystems and water resources Organic certification of truffles is a commitment to maintain a sustainable relationship between humans and nature, and helps to respect the ecosystem. ■ How to eat ・Mushroom plancha Plancha means "teppanyaki". The finishing truffle oil is the key to this recipe. Is the wine to go with Tuscan white? I think that a relatively solid white will fit. Standards of Tuscan chefs Stefania Calugi tartufi was started in 1987 by Stefania Calugi as a truffle wholesaler in Tuscany, Italy. By carefully selecting the freshest truffles from the network of trusted truffle hunters that have been built up from generation to generation by great-grandfathers, grandfathers and fathers, Karusi's truffles have earned the trust of chefs and have become the "standard for chefs in Tuscany". ■ Developed by family ties and passion The production of processed truffles by Kalugi began in 1988 in a small workshop of 67 square meters. Its high quality was quickly appreciated, and in 1992 it moved to a larger factory of 400 square meters. After that, we added many staff and new machines, and in 2016 we expanded to over 1,000 square meters, with a laboratory, warehouse and showroom. However, no matter how large the workshop grows or how technology advances, the important factor that Karusi considers to be people is the factor. We believe that the maintenance of teamwork like a large family and the desire to constantly develop are what lead to development. ■Pride in being Made in Italy Kalugi is also active in obtaining certifications and certifications, such as organic certification, vegan certification, and halal certification. Thanks to constant innovation, we produce truffle products that are safe to enjoy outside Italy with the highest quality control and strict traceability. At their core, they are "combining excellent Italian ingredients with carefully selected truffles" and "combining Tuscan tradition with the latest technology and modernity". The ancient taste of Italy and imagination are combined to create Carusi's truffle products. A company that prides itself on being Made in Italy and connects the great Italian traditions to the future.
