Truffle is a rare, precious, refined , and  expensive food. Its typical penetrating perfume develops only after ripening to catch wild animals such as pigs, wild boar, badger, dormouse and fox, although it lies underground.

Italy is one of the major truffle producer and exporter.  The most important areas of production of the precious white truffle are Alba and the province of Asti, in Piedmont, the area of San Miniato, San Giovanni d’Asso (between Siena and Montalcino), in Tuscany , the area of Acqualagna (Pesaro-Urbino) and San Pietro Avellana (Isernia). The black truffle is more common, especially in Umbria and Tuscany.
