"Nectariss": truffle flavour from real truffles

Nectariss aims to create the ultimate truffle flavour from real truffles, addressing three main problems of truffle products:

• the lack of authenticity of existing truffle aromas that are mainly prepared either synthetically or from seafood and vegetables;
• the poor diversity of existing commercial truffle flavours (only few compared to hundreds of truffle sorts);
• the lack of geographical traceability in truffle products and the consequent consumers' misconceptions that truffles exclusively come from few regions (i.e. Alba, Périgord), when they are really valuable resources of most Mediterranean countries.

Truffles are considered a gourmet food worldwide, very much appreciated by foodies and chefs. Apart from the fresh ones, most people love also other truffle flavoured products, such as oils and spreads. Consumers usually do not know the origin of the "truffle" flavour and they purchase these products without knowing in detail their characteristics, in terms of ingredients and origin. Furthermore, most consumers ignore that truffles can be found in most Mediterranean countries and not just in the few iconic places that everyone knows.
