Acqui e Sapori - Acqui Terme

Every year in november there's a food fair in Acqui Terme: "Acqui e Sapori" with on sunday a truffle exhibition.

I made some pictures to give you an idea:

Truffles

May I present you, Roberto, one of our local truffle hunters. These days you can't find him home most of the times, because it's truffle season. For him, it's not only a way to make money, but it's his passion and that you can see because he love sharing his stories about truffles and he shows people how he finds them. That's rare in a profession like his, because we're talking about big money.


Did you know that in Alba they just sold a truffle of 750 gr. for 100 000 euro?

Well, knowing this, you can imagine that most truffle hunters aren't very willing to share their secrets. Villagers told us there was even a man who wore his boots in the wrong direction so that others wouldn't know where he went !

But Roberto is different. Ok, he will not show the most secret places but since we opened our agriturismo he took a lot of our guests on a truffle walk and showed them how his dogs find these expensive delicacies.
