Who writes, how we verify

Trouvenir is an independent editorial project. We don't publish sponsorships disguised as recommendations. Every entry goes through our verification process before it reaches the app.

Our 4-step process

  1. 1

    Selection

    Start from official sources (PDO/PGI/TSG via eAmbrosia, Slow Food Presidia, regional PAT) and shop nominations. Every souvenir begins as a hypothesis to verify.

  2. 2

    Verification

    Cross-checks on material, supply chain, history. No entries generated without traceable sources.

  3. 3

    Field visit

    On-site visits or video calls with makers and producers. Original photography, current prices.

  4. 4

    Refresh

    Each entry shows the last-updated date. Flag mismatches and we review within 7 days.
