There is a lot of talk about Alba and it is synonymous with truffles but what about the beef? Ah, for those meat eaters, it isn’t about dry age, it isn’t about size, it is all about taste.

The beef is next to the best in the world, eat it raw and you think you are eating raw tuna from Japan. It is delicate, sweet and powerful, just the way I like it.

There is a sublimity that shouldn’t be missed and I can attest to it. All you need is a good butcher, salt and some virgin olive oil but not too much.
