Inside the Castle of Roddi, participants enjoy an exclusive experience led by a renowned chef, during which one of his recipes—designed to enhance the White Truffle of Alba—is prepared.
The course lasts approximately 2 hours and takes place in a professional setting with fully equipped modern stainless-steel workstations. Upon arrival, each participant finds their station already set up with all the necessary tools. The experience continues with the guided preparation of the dish alongside the chef, supported by a simultaneous translation service to ensure the involvement of all guests.
At the end of the lesson, participants take their seats to taste the prepared dish, accompanied by a carefully paired local wine.
Each station can accommodate up to two participants.
The Alba White Truffle is not included and, for those who wish, will be charged separately according to the daily quotation of the Truffle Market Exchange.
The event is simultaneously translated into English.
THE CHEF
Pasquale Laera, originally from Puglia and now deeply rooted in Piedmont, is the chef-owner of Borgo Sant’Anna in Monforte d’Alba, a Michelin-starred restaurant in the heart of the Langhe. His cuisine blends rural tradition with contemporary vision, earning him his first Michelin Star in 2014 at La Rei (Boscareto Resort), and another in 2020 with the opening of Borgo Sant’Anna.
His culinary journey includes training at ALMA, mentorship under Antonino Cannavacciuolo as sous-chef, and international experiences in Japan, Copenhagen, and Mexico, which have shaped his creative and technical approach. His dishes reflect a balance of memory and innovation, using local ingredients with precision and personality.
In 2022, he launched a second project: Lostu, a playful osteria just steps from Borgo Sant’Anna, inspired by the traditional piola of Piedmont. While Borgo Sant’Anna showcases his avant-garde side, Lostu celebrates authentic, rustic flavors, rooted in the region’s culinary heritage.
