Our Producers
Thirty-eight family estates. Fourteen regions. Generations of craft.
Every producer in the Altieri collection was chosen because of a relationship — a visit to their land, a conversation at their table, a shared understanding of what extraordinary food requires. We do not work with brokers or intermediaries. We work directly with the families who grow, harvest, age, and craft what we bring to America.
"The tree does the work. We simply do not interfere."

"The truffle does not grow. It arrives" — and moves through the mystery of how truffles form, Italy's unique place as their spiritual home, the white truffle's fleeting rarity and the black truffle's patient depth, and closes with Altieri's role in bringing that unrepeatable gift to the world. Nothing invented, nothing embellished — just the truth of what makes truffles extraordinary. tells you where to look. You only need to know how to listen."

"Every region tells a different story. Every olive carries the character of the land from which it came."
— Altieri Italian Imports
Our producers span Italy from the ancient olive groves of Puglia in the south to the Nebbiolo hillsides of Piemonte in the north. Each region contributes something irreplaceable — a climate, a soil, a tradition that cannot be replicated elsewhere. We travel to all of them.
We are always searching for exceptional producers who share our commitment to provenance, family ownership, and uncompromising quality. If you believe your estate or workshop belongs in the Altieri collection, we would like to hear from you.
