This white truffle product is remarkable for its intense flavour and the ability of giving its dishes a full and unmistakable taste, even in small doses. The aromatic substances of truffles have a stimulating effect on digestion. Truffle is the most precious ingredient of Emilia Romagna’s typical cuisine: its taste is enhanced when combined with tagliatelle pasta and or simply plain with eggs.

Harvested in the woods of the Bolognese Apennine, in the municipalities of Bazzano, Castello di Serravalle, Crespellano, Monte San Pietro, Monteveglio, Savigno, Vergato, Porretta Terme, Grizzana Morandi, Castel di Casio, Camugnano, Castel d’Aiano e Gaggio Montano, Sasso Marconi.
