Our origins.
Luigi Rocca, a Ligurian native, began to produce preserved porcini and dried mushrooms harvested exclusively in Valtellina .
The company has saved two very rare kinds of old preserved jars, with the small mushrooms still visible in perfect condition!
An examination, made by a special commission valued by the virtue of current owner and the contribution of the local Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the province of Sondrio, thanks also to the original documentation provided, sets up a collective brand and its specifications that regulates this kind of preserves.
Today we use this brand, that validly promotes and continues the tradition of our business, even with similar companies established in Valtellina.
Authenticity, reliability in product selection and preparation are guaranteed by an authentic historical handwritten paper drafted by the Rocca Luigi & Figlio Company founders, which are still kept in the historical archive censused by our Region specialists and constituted by the Company.
