Truffle fishing
Alba is located in the heart of Langhe, the hilly southern part of the northwestern Piedmont region of Italy. Alba is famous throughout the country and beyond for its white truffles – a noble variety of valuable breed of mushrooms that grow underground. Truffles hide at a depth of 5 to 20 cm near the roots of trees. They emit a specific odor that lasts for a limited period of time and can only be detected with the help of well-trained dogs and experienced mushroom hunters. The extraction of white truffles, which are not bred in greenhouses, but grow only in natural conditions - in forests, has recently fallen. This is due to climate change in Italy: repeated droughts interspersed with heavy rains.
The harvesting season of these mushrooms in Italy falls on November. The white truffle is short-lived, it grows on tree roots and begins to wilt as soon as it is taken out of the ground. Even in the most ideal conditions, it can retain its taste for only 10 days.
