Piedmont and Truffle Hunting: what to know

In the Langhe and Monferrato area (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) it is possible to go truffle hunting just a few minutes from Alba and Asti. Here, in fact, you can find both white and black truffles. Some mushroom hunters also offer the opportunity to combine hunting with a tasting of local products.

FAQs for Truffle hunting in Piedmont
What is meant by truffle hunting?
Truffle hunting is a discipline that involves hiking in wooded areas, accompanied by an experienced guide and a truffle dog, in search of the most prized mushroom: the truffle.
Can I take found truffles home?
The extent of truffle collecting varies. However, very often you will have the opportunity to take some of the truffles you find with you, free of charge! Alternatively, the guides give the opportunity to buy the truffle.
What are truffle dogs and how are they found?
The best dogs for truffle hunting are those with the most developed sense of smell, such as the cocker spaniel, Romagna lagotto, setter, and breton. The dog is taken to the truffle grounds and through the aid of its sense of smell indicates to the owner the spots where the scent of the mushroom is prevalent. Then, the truffle hunter proceeds with the use of the spade to extract the truffle from the ground.
