There are different varieties of black truffles. Depending on the season you can find the precious black truffle (1 December -15 March), black summer truffle (1 June – 31 August), black truffle (October 1 – December 31) and the black winter truffle (1 January – 15 March).
Alba is one of the richest areas for white truffles, not to mention the hills of Asti and the Langhe. We find the white truffles, like the black ones, under the ground, up to a depth of one meter, near trees like Poplars and Lilies, from September to February.
