In 2014, professor and truffle expert Richard Splivallo (CEO of Nectariss) discovered that microbes living inside truffles were responsible for generating the aroma of truffles. 

This led to the Nectariss Method, a unique fermentation process based on ancient traditions. This process allows us to produce the most authentic truffle flavors on the market.
