October – January
White Piedmont Truffle
Tuber magnatum Pico
CHARACTER
The Tuber magnatum Pico is the crown jewel of the truffle world — and of Piedmont. Its scent is overwhelming, complex, impossible to replicate: damp earth, fermented honey, aged cheese, something entirely its own. It is found between October and January, in a narrow window that foragers follow with obsession. Every specimen is unique. No two dawns are alike.
Aroma profile
Overwhelming and complex: damp earth, fermented honey, aged cheese, white pepper, a faint note of garlic. Impossible to replicate or describe precisely — it must be experienced.
