From October to December any day is perfect to take a trip to the hills of the Langhe in search of the coveted white truffle of Alba, the Tuber Magnatum, a real underground treasure. With its strong perfume and its original taste, it is one of the most mysterious "jewels" that the earth has ever produced.

Alba is the white truffle's capital and its image thrives on this exclusive association.

The local Tourist Board of Alba, Bra, Langhe and Roero has helped to make the region into one of the world's top destinations for "gourmet travel".
