Why not study …

… truffles!!
At the Centro Nazionale Studi Tartufo in Alba, Piedmont, you can learn all about this costly delicacy:
- what it is
- the various species available
- the difference between the white and black varieties
- stories and legends
- discover the technical terms using the glossary
- when to pick them
- download an information leaflet
Whilst enquiring about the centre I was taught how to distinguish (using the sense of smell) between a freshly picked (not ready), mature (perfect for eating) and old (rotten and past it!) truffle. Now I shouldn’t get ripped off when I go shopping for them!!
What do you think of truffles? Please let me know your experiences of them.
