White truffles rich and rare from Alba Italy
An article outlines Alba Italy as the world’s top white truffle market. It notes prices over $100 per pound, the long history since 195 A.D., how dogs and pigs locate truffles, and the three month autumn season around Alba with Morra the “King of Truffles” overseeing trades at the Savona Hotel. It mentions Umbria hunters Urbani family, and cultural references from Pliny to Pompadour.
