2023

The European black truffle (Tuber melanosporum) is one of the most delicate and appreciated products in gastronomy since Roman times. But, do you really know what the truffle is? Do you know its production areas? Did you know that there are many species of truffles, but that only one species is the authentic European black truffle (Tuber melanosporum)? Do you know the differences between the authentic aroma of the fresh truffle and the added imitation aromas? Do you know the different qualities of truffles? Do you know how to use the truffle so as not to lose its qualities? Would you like to practice truffle tourism in Europe? .

If you are curious about these questions, this conference will help you discover the secrets of the truffle from the hands of our producers and experts. In addition, we invite you to enjoy a face-to-face tasting of fresh truffles brought directly from our production areas to the prestigious Culinary Institute of America in New York (USA).

We will wait for you!
