Cooking show with chef Roberto Conti

The International White Truffle of Alba Fair is one of the main showcases of haute gastronomy and Italian excellence.

The theme chosen for the 2026 edition, Authentic Relationships, represents the natural continuation of the thematic paths developed in recent editions.

After placing the future, the intelligence of nature, and deep respect for the earth at the center, the Fair now intends to explore the value of authentic relationships: those between man and nature, between community and landscape, between tradition and innovation, between the territory and the world, and between those who safeguard the truffle heritage and those who discover it through tourist and cultural experiences.

The new image of the 2026 edition visually captures this approach: the paw of the tabui, the truffle dog, rests on the Tuber magnatum Picco held by a human hand, in a gesture of delivery, trust, and reciprocity.

Cooking show

The Cooking Shows offer an immersive experience of signature cuisine, where the chef prepares the dish live on stage, weaving together technique and inspiration. Alta Langa elegantly accompanies the entire journey, which culminates in the tasting, enriched—upon request—by the White Truffle of Alba and exclusive dedicated gifts.

It includes:

• The dish prepared by the chef
• A glass of Alta Langa DOCG
• S.Bernardo water
• A 100g panettoncino by Galup
• The Tartufo Regale, an exclusive artisanal praline created by Michelin-starred chef Ugo Alciati, which faithfully reproduces the shape and color of the famous Alba Truffle.

Roberto Conti

Roberto Conti arrives at Casa Camperio with an impressive career path, built over the years through experiences that have defined his technical profile.

His training developed alongside names such as Carlo Cracco, Andrea Berton, Luigi Taglienti, and Pietro Leemann, while a decisive milestone of his journey remains Trussardi alla Scala, where his cuisine earned a Michelin Star in 2018.

Today, with Casa Camperio, Conti chooses to mark a clear turning point in his path: from April 2026, he will leave all consultancies to reinvest fully and directly in a project he also views as an entrepreneurial venture, retaining only the most prestigious one for La Meridiana Relais & Châteaux in Garlenda, a historic Ligurian residence founded in 1978 and a Relais & Châteaux since 1979.

Beppe Fenoglio Hall

The Hall is dedicated to the writer from Alba Beppe Fenoglio (1922 – 1963), author of works such as Il Partigiano Johnny, Una questione privata, and Primavera di bellezza.

In the splendid monumental complex of the Magdalene Courtyard, the center of Alba’s cultural life, two large works by Gallizio face each other on the walls of the conference hall dedicated to Beppe Fenoglio.

This hall, set up during the Truffle Fair, hosts the Cooking Shows.
