White Alba Truffle
It is considered the truffle par
excellence, the true “diamond” of cuisine, the most precious from a gastronomic point of view. Both its flavor and aroma are unmistakable, intense, and unique. The fragrance it releases when fully matured is powerful, making it one of a kind and worthy of appreciation worldwide.

Alba, Land of the Truffle
The White Truffle of Piedmont has always been considered the most prized, but it was only in the 20th century that the White Truffle of Alba gained worldwide fame, thanks to the brilliant promotional work carried out by Giacomo Morra, a hotelier and restaurateur from Alba, who was rightly “crowned” King of Truffles as early as 1933 by the London Times.
What is Truffle?
It is the common name given to the fruit bodies (sporocarps) of fungi that complete their entire life cycle underground (hypogeous) belonging to the genus Tuber. They are formed by an outer wall called the peridium. The internal mass is called the gleba. It is traversed by more or less wide and branched veins that delimit alveoli in which large cells (asci) containing spores are immersed.
