Cortile della Maddalena

9 October through 14 November

on Saturdays and Sundays

9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Truffle traders, trifolao and quality – in other words, the Truffle World Market.

The Market is the heart of the fair dedicated to Alba white tuber. Visitors will be able to find certified trifola (Alba white truffle) – an initiative aimed at protecting and certifying the Tuber Magnatum Pico brand.

The Tuber Magnatum Pico sold in Alba is analyzed and guaranteed against defects before being purchased: it is checked upon entering the market, analyzed by the Commissione di controllo (Commission responsible for checking the truffles), which is actively present on the market and ready to support truffle consumers.

Truffle, which is perfect to be consumed raw, and thinly sliced over simple dishes, must be stored in a cool place (recommended storage temperature to be comprised between 3°C and 6°C) so that its flavour is preserved, and preferably wrapped in a damp cloth inside a glass container.
