When you decide to buy a White Truffle from Alba, always remember to take into account at least 3 important aspects to always make the best purchase, and they are: the “Selection”, the “Weight of each piece” and the “Truffle Price List”. The 3 tips for purchasing ALBA TARTUFI:

1) The “Selection of the Truffle” – When you go to the market, it often happens that you buy fruit or vegetables, choosing, selecting and indicating to the seller only the best desired Products. The same thing happens for Truffles, but it requires knowledge that unfortunately not everyone has, and therefore, when you decide to buy a Truffle, it is better to turn to someone who has been carrying out this activity for many years with competence and professionalism, but above all, who offers a selection service, so that the Customer is always certain and confident of purchasing the best Product;

2) The “Size of the Truffle” – The size indicates the size of the whole Truffle, as it was collected. The larger the Truffle (or, it has a greater weight) the more it costs, because it is rarer and more valuable. Truffles are divided into 3 sizes / weight bands (small 5-10 gr., medium 10-20 gr. or large 20-70 gr.), and sporadically, also a fourth band for Truffles of extraordinarily larger size (extra band – from 70 gr. upwards). Each size / weight band has a price decided by the Market which is determined by the quantities of the harvest found (in an absolute way, even more so, for the Alba White Truffle which is a non-cultivable Tuber) and all the Sales Prices recorded, become first a sum, and then, the Average Price then indicated by the Stock Exchange;

3) The “Truffle Stock Exchange” – The Stock Exchange of Alba White Truffle has been associated for about 30 years with the National Truffle Studies Center of Alba, which is a point of reference for the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato, in the field of Study, Analysis and Control of the Alba White Truffle, as well as being one of the Borsini (and an Informer on the Retail Price) among the most accredited in the field, and of considerable utility, both for National Buyers / Consumers and from foreign countries.
