Truffles in Umbria - the king of Umbrian gastronomy and dishes


In recent years, interest in food and wine and knowledge of Italian territories has grown considerably, including from the point of view of culinary traditions and their survival and renewal from generation to generation. 

Wherever one goes in the Belpaese, one can sit at ever-changing tables and explore with the palate paths of taste that often also become sensory and evocative. 

Umbria is also no exception and today we want to dedicate our page to the king of the tables of great occasions: his majesty the truffle.

Truffles grow in various parts of the region near specific trees and in very characteristic areas, 

Alone, alas, it is not possible to enjoy truffle hunting: you must have at least one four-legged friend with you, but most importantly, the specific license that authorizes you to bear the title of "seeker" or "hunter" of truffles. 

Do not allow yourself to be discouraged. Even if you have neither the time nor the interest to take up this new hobby, you could become a "truffle hunter for a day" by taking part in our tour focused on this very experience, truffle hunting.

The day will begin with a walk in the shade of holm oaks and oaks accompanied by the Fido on duty who, with great nose skills, will lead us to the places where to find this sort of hypogean fungus. Do not imagine adventures over cliffs and wilderness areas: looking for truffles is an experience of silence and "listening" to the territory, based on trust between man and animal. If we are lucky and return to the cars with our little treasure, then we will not miss the opportunity to taste its scents and texture accompanied by other local delicacies.

Sorry, it will be the other specialties that will court him, because we must not forget that "his majesty" is one and the same: the truffle.
