The International Alba White Truffle Fair continues to be every year the most important event in the world dedicated to the “King of Mushrooms”, the Tuber magnatum Pico.
An event that turns the spotlight on Alba, on the hills of the Langhe, Roero, and Monferrato, on quality agrifood and on the excellence of our country, becoming one of the most sought-after and prestigious showcases of Made in Italy.
The Alba White Truffle has proved once again to be the ambassador of a very wide and diversified context, the standard bearer in the world of an area rich in beautiful landscapes, traditions, culture and a food and wine quality that is one of the main driving forces of the Langhe Monferrato and Roero region’s economy.
On 31st October 2017, Alba was also officially recognised by UNESCO as “Creative City for Gastronomy”. A recognition that strengthens the city’s international vocation.
Set in the beautiful natural scenery of the Langhe, and of which it is the historical and economic capital, Alba is a city rich in culture, history and traditions. It is the ancient Alba Pompeia, though its origins are clearly pre-Roman, rich in archaeological finds and evidence of its glorious past.
The city can boast among its citizens illustrious men such as emperors (including the consul Publius Elvius Pertinace), experts in law and history, ministers, as well as some contemporary entrepreneurs. Alba is known for its beauty, its curious sights, its renowned industries and gastronomic products, including truffles and wine, which are now sold all over the world.

It is the most exciting experience for a truffle enthusiast. A hunter accompanied by his dog will lead tourists through the woods in search of the precious hypogeous mushroom, led only by the animal’s sense of smell and intuition gained over years of experience.
The truffle hunt will always be supervised by a guide with expertise in truffles, the natural environment and the Langhe and Roero area.
