On request - White truffle -

The queen of the truffles, also called “Tartufo bianco del Piemonte” or “Tartufo bianco di Alba”, ripens between September and early January in its native region of northern Italy, especially in Piedmont and the French Périgord. It can also be found in central Italy, southern France, Romania, Croatia, and Bulgaria. In our country, several large specimens have been found along the Danube. This so-called "white truffle" is a very rare variety and is not subject to cultivation or processing. This makes the white truffle the most expensive of all truffles. Depending on the harvest, the price can reach up to 4,000.00 US dollars per kilogram. Every year, an auction is held in the town of Alba, at the Castle of Grinzane Cavour. There, the best specimens of the season are presented, and their prices are determined individually.

With its intense aroma of garlic or wild garlic, shallots, and soft cheese, it is a rarity among gourmets around the world. They value the Alba truffle as an essential ingredient in the finest dishes. Alba truffles are often used in Italian cuisine, lending pasta and rice dishes an extravagant touch with their strong aroma. This truffle is primarily used fresh in wafer-thin slices, as its flavor and aroma disappear when heated.

It has a silky-matte surface, and its color varies from light ochre to dark cream or even greenish. The color of the flesh varies depending on the tree under which the truffle ripens. Its exceptional fragrance, firm consistency, and ochre-colored marbling of its gleba (flesh) are the hallmarks of the Alba truffle. This truffle has a shelf life of only a few days.
