Truffle hunting and extraction

Even today, the ancient rite celebrated at dawn is protected by darkness and anonymity. A man, a dog and the silence of the forest: it's here where the precious tuber is born in symbiosis among the oaks, Holm oaks, Durmast oaks, Ash and Hazelnut trees.  

Since the ancient Babylonians truffle has always been an object of desire and wonder. Magicians and alchemists from the remote Valnerina (the charlatans from Cerreto) attracted crowds in exhibitions around Europe with love elixir with black truffles. 

The link between truffles and Umbria is such that the most prized variety is known as the "nero di Norcia e Spoleto." But all of Umbria is a land of truffles and you can enjoy this marvellous fruit of the earth in just about any season.

Un profumo e un sapore facili da amare. Gustalo fresco nelle preparazioni più semplici: sono quelle che ne esaltano il gusto. In Umbria la tradizione è antica, non ti resta che venire ad assaggiarlo.
