Fresh White Alba Truffles (Tuber magnatum)

Fresh White Alba Truffles (Tuber magnatum)

White Truffle, or better known White Alba Truffle, is surely the most precious variety of truffle from a economic and culinary point of view. It smells very intense, reminiscent of garlic, but all the more pleasant. Is unmistakably white and yellowish with small white veins. The surface is smooth, ochre or olive-yellow, sometimes also grey-blackish.

In addition to central and northern Italy, the Istrian peninsula in Croatia is the best-known production area. In recent decades, however it has become apparent that it is common in several parts of the Balkans.

Compared to other truffles, it is really an underground fungus, as it usually develops a fruiting body deeper, often at a depth of 10-20 (30) cm.

Truly a magical experience. White truffles must always be served raw – grated or sliced over a dish just before serving. They are usually served on simple dishes – traditionally on egg, pasta, risotto or fonduta.
For a starter we recommend you allow approximately 10 grams of Fresh White Alba Truffles per person. Please allow approximately 20 grams per person for a gourmet main course.
Finding truffles is a matter of luck. It depends on the forest, the weather and the truffle hunting dog. For sustainability, truffle hunting is done only 1-2 times a week. The exact time of delivery is variable, but we will always send you an email notification. (usually Monday and Thursday)
