Truffle tutorial

WHITE truffles (Tuber magnatum pico) are tubers that grow mostly in Italy. They are sometimes called Alba truffles because they are particularly abundant in this area, which lies in the country’s famed Piedmont region that is also home to Italy’s best-known red wines. 

White truffles can also be found – in much smaller quantities – in some parts of central Italy as well as the south of France.
