Alba White Truffle
Just a few kilometres away, the woods on the hills around Alba are filled with Alba Whitw Truffle, the King of fungus
<< The Alba White Truffle has a round shape, but it is also flat and irregular, with a pale yellow peridium or even ochre. Its inside, crossed by numerous and very ramified white veinings, shows different shades of colour: from milk to deep pink to brownish. Sizes are variable. It’s being hunted from late summer, throughout the autumn, until the beginning of winter. It’s a spontaneous fungus: at present, there are no cultivation techniques. >>
