“Truffles: it doesn’t matter if they’re black or white, as long as they’re strongly scented.”
(Pellegrino Artusi, chef)
Enjoy the green forests around San Miniato, searching for high-quality truffle with an Authorised Truffle Hunter.
OVERVIEW
The town of San Miniato is one of the renowned capitals of truffle, and it is just about one hour drive from Florence. For many, truffle hunting is an activity very close to a ‘religion’, and it is only thanks to the expertise of authorised experts and their long-time trained dogs that the truffle is found.
Today, you will slowly hike with our local Truffle Expert in the fresh and clean air of oaks, helms and hornbeams, waiting for a dog signal along the way. On top of the experience of walking in the green, it will also very interesting. Professional truffle hunters, in fact, are also wells of knowledge when it comes to explaining the secrets of nature, the differences in terrain, how and where truffles grow, and how dogs are trained to signal the presence of truffle. People make the difference.
At the end of our Truffle Hunt, a professional chef will then prepare lunch on the day’s truffle catch. Fresh Truffle Eggs and Fresh Truffle Tagliolini are a must if you are a foodie and a truffle maniac, and they get along very well with a bottle of Brunello di Montalcino. Still, the menu may vary according to personal food preferences.
