WHITE TRUFFLE

Are you addicted to white truffles?

A bountiful white truffle harvest from Alba, Italy.
Yesterday marked the annual white truffle auction at the castle of Grinzane Cavour, in the Italian region of Piedmont. Most everyone familiar with the boom in popularity of the white truffle of Alba was in attendance. The sale raised a total of 305,000 Euro, with the prized funghi being purchased by Antonio Bertolotto for 100,000 Euro. This is not his first investment of the sacred funghi tartufo, he previously purchased two others for 8,000 Euro.
