Truffle
From Father to Son
Luca Miliffi grew up with truffle as part of his life and family. His father, Arnaldo Miliffi, was a pioneer in introducing and promoting truffles in Austria, making what is considered one of the world’s most prestigious gastronomic products known. Today, through the company Miliffico, Luca ensures a steady supply of fresh truffles to the Austrian market every day of the year. Whether white in autumn or black, the truffles are collected and delivered within 24 hours.
Miliffico is not just synonymous with impeccable distribution but also with excellence in truffle hunting. The Miliffi family knows every corner of the hills and paths where truffles grow, with a unique terroir that gives their truffles special characteristics. However, this remains their family secret.
