Alba White Truffle Fair 2012
Fiera del Tartufo di Alba, October 6 through November 18, 2012, every Saturday and Sunday
Truffle Fair 2012 is starting off with few truffles and high prices due to lack of rain this spring and summer. We are hoping for better truffles in November and December after some much needed rain in September.
During the fair there are also many people selling high quality dried porcini mushrooms.
Our friend Primo Montaldo, selling his famous cured pork filets and salami.
During the fair one can taste a variety of local wine and taste truffles over traditional dishes like this one, truffles shaved over fried eggs.
