Alba Tartufi, in Montà d’Alba, offers typical products from the Langa and Roero region, all exclusively purchasable on-line.
You can choose either fresh truffles and/or special products: creams, oils and truffles condiments, sliced truffles or truffles soaked in brine.
Ugo Cauda, the company owner, organizes in person simulated truffle searching combined with tastings of typical local products.
An excellent method to preserve this otherwise extremely delicate ingredient, preserving most of its aroma
Visits & Tastings
Upon reaching the hunting point, Ugo Cauda will illustrate how the trifulau (truffles hunter) and his dog actually work.
Ugo will provide information about the area and the factors that favor the development of this underground mushroom.
And of course you’ll get to know how to clean a truffle and how to best pair it with food.
The search is called “simulated” because truffles are hidden in advance and the hunt takes place in areas where this mushroom grows more easily.
The areas where the hunts take place are called “tartufaie” and it’s possible to find truffles that have matured spontaneously.
Usually the hunt for truffles takes place in the Santuario dei Piloni a Montà area, a site that is interesting both from a naturalistic and historical point of view.
Guided tastings
Upon request you can combine the simulated search with a guided tasting of typical local products.
The products available for tasting are: appetizers, truffle oil, flavored creams with truffles, truffle cream, a glass of local wine or soft drink.
Weather permitting, the tastings take place at the truffles search spot.
