OVERVIEW:

The Alba White Truffle (Tuber Magnatum Pico) is one of the most important jewels in the culinary calendar, and is a gastronomical object of desire. It comes from Italy's Piedmont region, and is very famous for its aroma, taste and aphrodisiac qualities. For centuries people have travelled from near and far just to savour a little piece. From October until December the white truffle is harvested from its earthy home in the hills of the Langhe south of Alba and from the Monferrato. Due to the fact that there was very little rain in July and August this year, the Alba white truffles are few and far between and much more expensive than last year.
