The main gastronomic attraction of Piedmont is truffle hunting. In one of the richest regions of the country, there is a habitat for the white truffle, which tubers grow at a depth of up to 30-50 cm. 🍴 To find them, hunters take specially trained dogs with keen senses of smell. 🐕 Since the 15th century, truffles were hunted with pigs, but ate the truffles as soon as they found them, destroying the mushrooms. 🍄 Hunters prefer to go out at night or at dawn, as the morning humidity makes it easier for the dogs to find the truffles, and the darkness helps to keep the location of mushrooms in a secret. Once the truffle is extracted, the soil must be carefully placed back, as truffles usually grow in the same places.
🛎 Concierge Plus can help you organize an exciting truffle hunting tour with dogs and immerse you in the culture of this country! ✨
