Truffle is art, and the art of truffle hunting is based on the world’s most renowned truffle, the “Alba White Truffle.” The art of the Alba White Truffle begins with the search by expert “hunters” and trained dogs, followed by expert “selectors” and skilled “processors.”
FRESH TRUFFLES – The Alba White Truffle, also known as “Tuber Magnatum Pico,” is considered the most prized truffle by gourmets worldwide. The Alba White Truffle is harvested in the Langhe, Roero, and Monferrato regions by expert “hunters” and trained dogs. It is not a cultivable tuber and is a natural sentinel of the territory. The Alba White Truffle has a velvety, greenish-ochre colored outer surface, and the flesh is white-yellow-greyish with thin white veins. Its pleasantly aromatic scent makes it unique. The Alba White Truffle originates in Piedmont (Italy), is harvested from October 1st to January 31st, and the product, as in the case of ALBA TARTUFI, is always carefully selected. The Alba White Truffle is the King of Fresh Truffles.
PRESERVED TRUFFLES – The Alba White Truffle is also used in condiments, as in the case of ALBA TARTUFI, which transforms and uses the product in creams, sauces, oil, and truffle salt. For example, ALBA TARTUFI White Truffle Cream is a concentrate of the famous “Tuber Magnatum Pico” and contains 73% white truffle, olive oil, and a few grains of salt. Ideal for flavoring important first and second courses, it is also an excellent base for preparing elegant banquets. White Truffle Cream is the Queen of Preserved Truffles.
TRUFFLE TOUR – The Alba Truffle Tour takes place in the Langhe, Roero, and Monferrato regions, famous for the Alba White Truffle and the Black Truffles of Piedmont. It’s also an exclusive nature tour with a highly experienced truffle hunter. The Truffle Tour takes place daily from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM and lasts 2 hours.
