A Week in Truffle Country
Posted by Delicious | 3rd March 2007
This is a short account of our experiences on a journey to Piemonte, specifically the land due east of the regional capital Turin.
First thing you should know is that the famous white truffles of Alba may actually come from the province of Asti.
Truffles need very special and precise conditions to grow and the countryside around Alba is now almost all dedicated to vines and grape produuction.
Saying that you cannot miss a visit to Alba as the business of truffles, as well as the Associazione per Il Centro Nazionale Studi Tartufo' are based here.
The famous month long white truffle festival in Alba runs in October and is an international event.
Alba itself is dominated by the huge Ferrero factory. That's Tic-Tacs, Kinder and Ferrero Rocher chocolates to you and me.
