International Alba White Truffle Fair — Local services in Alba

Attending the International White Truffle Fair in Alba, held annually in October and November, was an unforgettable experience. This world-famous event truly lives up to its reputation, offering an exceptional celebration of flavors, traditions, and culinary artistry.

The highlight, of course, was the white truffle itself—its aroma and taste are unlike anything else. We had the chance to taste truffles in various dishes, each more exquisite than the last. From simple pasta infused with the earthy, delicate flavor of truffles to more inventive culinary creations, every bite was a delight.

Beyond the truffles, the fair was a treasure trove for food lovers. We discovered an incredible variety of regional products, from artisanal cheeses to fine cured meats, all of the highest quality. And the wine! Alba is in the heart of Piedmont, home to some of Italy’s finest wines, including Barolo and Barbaresco. There were countless opportunities to taste these exceptional wines, perfectly paired with the local cuisine.

The fair wasn’t just about food and drink—it was a feast for the senses. We wandered through beautifully decorated stalls, met passionate producers, and even witnessed truffle hunting demonstrations. The atmosphere was lively, yet intimate, with a deep respect for the traditions and craftsmanship that make Alba’s truffles so unique.

This event is a must for anyone who appreciates good food, fine wine, and authentic experiences. We left with full hearts (and full stomachs), already dreaming of coming back next year. If you’re looking for a luxurious yet deeply rooted gastronomic adventure, the Alba White Truffle Fair is...

(Truffle,sensorial analysis,wine tasting) Unfortunately the Foodies experience with the Chef on Nov 13th at 6pm was not the best. White rice was served (with Guinea Fowl distilled reduction broth... no taste). Obviously many of us chose to have some grated truffle on it to give it some personality...but for €50 the truffle was just barely tastable and smellable. I personally will not remember this as the peak of the day. It is a shame. Total of €90 per pax for a tiny portion of boiled rice with probably the worst white truffle in Alba. You can do...

It turning to become a joke...carnival like security and entrance fee ... where are the good old belly shops in the streets... where real local Tartuffo hunters proudly present their treasures in their wind and weather worked hands? ...prices climbing to the roof but less and less truffles are really from the Piemonte... I know the season was hard and dry ... but before keeping up that circus, for such prices the customer deserves AOC stuff and not import from Slovenia or other places (not that they are not good, but prices then should be honest and lower) ... the Saturday marked at Alba though is as great and...
