The white truffle is the most esteemed type due to its exceptional flavor and aroma. It is often described as a mixture of shallots and nuts, with a hint of earthiness. This truffle grows a few inches deep, in symbiosis with the roots of oak, chestnut, and hazelnut trees. It is harvested between October and December in mild weather. One of its famous growing areas is in the Piedmont region, this is why they are often called Piedmont or Alba Truffle. Besides central and northern Italy, the Istria Peninsula in Croatia is also a well-known growing area for white truffles.
