The Alba white truffle also known as Tuber Magnatum, is the most prized in the world for intensity, richness and complexity of aromas: over 120 aromatic molecules that blend in perfect balance and, depending on which trees they grow under, reveal varying hints of bush and artichokes, garlic and hay, very delicate notes of honey and hazelnut, but also moist earth and spices.
Skin is fragile and smooth. Flesh ranges from pale cream to brown pinkish with white marbling.
The Alba white truffle is mainly found in Northern Italy, around the town of Alba, in the Piedmont region. It can also be found in small quantities in France and Croatia.
