{"title":"Savini Tartufi","description":"\u003cp\u003eFour generations of Tuscan truffle hunters. The family who unearthed the largest white truffle in history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the 1920s, Giuseppe Savini farmed at Balconevisi, near San Miniato, and hunted truffles with his dog on the side. His son Zelindo made it the whole trade — an estate warden who did well enough in the woods to trade his Vespa for a big British motorbike, which in postwar Tuscany said everything. Zelindo's son Luciano trained as a pastry chef, and in the early 1980s he and his wife Carla began cooking the family's finds into jars. Today the fourth generation leads: Cristiano Savini, with his sister Romina, from Forcoli, in white-truffle country.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dogs are colleagues, not accessories — Rocco, Giotto, Fiuto have all had their names in print — and behind the family stand several hundred affiliated hunters across these hills.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen there is November 2007. Cristiano, his father, and Rocco dug a white truffle of nearly a kilo and a half out of the ground at Palaia — the largest ever found. It was auctioned that December for about $330,000, the proceeds given to charity, the record logged by Guinness, and a replica sits in the family museum, roughly where the story is retold daily.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA truffle season is weeks long; the jars are how it reaches a year, and an ocean. Everything Casa lists began as a morning in these woods — the summer truffle carried into salt, sauce, and honey, the white into oil — cooked in the family's kitchen at Forcoli, the trade Luciano began and never stopped refining. The rule at the table is the hunter's own: small amounts, at the end, after the heat.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"savini-salsa-vegetariana","title":"Salsa Vegetariana (Vegetable Truffle Sauce)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe hunter's own jar: mushrooms carrying summer truffle, made vegetarian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSalsa del tartufaio means the truffle hunter's sauce, and this is the jar the house is built on.
