The hardier the tree wood\, the stronger the intensity of the truffle’s scent and flavour. \nNorthern Italy’s damp Lange forests are the best harvesting ground.  Only licenced hunters (trifulaos) can harvest the wild truffles.  They are usually accompanied by their dogs rather than pigs as they tend to eat the truffles once unearthed. \nDepending on the quality and supply\, a kilogram of Italian white truffles can be priced as high as USD5\,000 or more.  The white truffles are available between September to December. \nAt the fair\, visitors can also savour black truffles\, the famous Barolo wines\,and regional delights such as\, cured meats\, and the renowned IGP Piedmont hazelnut (Tonda Gentile della Langa).  The rich taste\, superb quality and longer shelf life of this sweet round and refined of Langhe is what sets it apart from other hazelnut varieties. \nVisitors will also have an opportunity to discover Alba’s millenary culture through folklore events\, historical re-enactments and entertainment. \nRelated: Villa San Carlo Receives Top Accolade \nFirst Published:  October 08\, 2016  |  Updated: September 19\, 2025
