Our origins

A long history in mushrooms

Asiago Food tells the story of wild mushrooms and berries brought to the tables of Italians, and it is the story of Monica and Massimo, the two founders still in the company today. A modern and ancient tale together, local and global, personal and communal, born over 30 years ago in the cultural and environmental context of the Seven Municipalities of the Asiago Plateau. A territory that, since ancient times, has made shared cultural identity and the enhancement of local specificities its strength. Asiago Food was born with the idea of Massimo and his wife Monica to make the fruits of that territory, mushrooms and berries, available to people, initially in the area of the Seven Municipalities and later throughout Italy and the world, working passionately to create not just a simple linear supply chain, but a system in which each actor contributes to making the production process the final product. Asiago Food has grown signifi cantly since then, maintaining the same values connected with the local territory, the produce of the land and the local people. They have been so successful as to be able to integrate themselves into a culturally-similar new context: the silvopastoral communities of Bulgaria. An untouched territory excellent for the qualitative and quantitative production of mushrooms and fruits of the forest. Passion, strong production and experience has brought the company to a position of market leadership in the frozen mushrooms sector. This has placed Massimo and Monica, as well as their numerous collaborators, engaged in the international promotion of the Asiago Food brand, in the role of ambassadors for Italian gastronomic excellence.

Specializing in the collection, distribution and marketing of frozen wild mushrooms and berries, Asiago Food is now a high-quality company offering a wide range of genuine, tasty and natural products.

The selection of raw materials is always driven by the excellence of the product. We carefully choose every ingredient for our recipes based on the strictest controls carried out at collection centers in Bulgaria and at our Italian headquarters. Step by step, we have built an organizational growth system with dedicated individuals and constantly innovative technologies, taking into account both quality and sustainability aspects.

In our factory in Veggiano (Pd), the manufacturing cycle is constantly monitored in order to maintain high quality standards. We have a team dedicated to the quality control of raw ingredients, finished products and packaging. Extraordinary products that have become a fundamental part of our business, with numbers that confirm our position as the biggest Italian company in the mushroom industry: more than 10 tons of wild mushrooms collected every day, more than 2 million packs sold and distributed through the main worldwide distribution channels, in 30 different countries.

Organic production

The natural integrity of the raw material

Asiago Food's collection areas and cultivations are located in Bulgaria, in ecologically protected lands entirely dedicated to agriculture and organic production. Here, under the supervision of Italian agronomists, high-quality forest fruits and porcini mushrooms are harvested.

An environmentally conscious harvest that prioritizes natural methods and materials, showing respect for the environment, people, and the entire production process. Refraining from using additives, chemical preservatives, and artificial flavors. Refusing technologies that disrupt the naturalness of the product. Ensuring that raw materials are as healthy and intact as possible. Human involvement should be supportive and supervisory. It is also a lifestyle choice, based on awareness and a connection with nature.

The history of organic farming is a realm of values that now intertwines ethically with environmental values, such as the promotion of local productions and the protection of the land. It also aligns with purely ethical and social values, such as legality, justice, and dignity. All our organic products, porcini mushrooms, wild berries, and cultivated small fruits, comply with the regulations of the European Commission and take into account the aspects of a conscious life philosophy that guides us in every single product, from harvesting to the convivial moment in the kitchen.

Sanafrutta™ technology

To ensure the utmost reliability of our products, in 2015 we patented the process technology called SANAFRUTTA™, which, thanks to a special treatment, reduces the risk of contaminants in frozen berries, without altering their organoleptic and nutritional characteristics.

An exclusive and completely natural sanitization process that our Research & Development department has developed using leading research institutions for the scientific measurement of application results.

An innovation that represents Asiago Food's philosophy.
