The experience of truffle hunting is a real treat for those who love contact with nature, walks surrounded by greenery and in particular for those who want to discover the famous hypogean mushroom, black gold for many Italian regions that have the lucky to see him grow in his own land.

Truffle is the common name given to hypogeal mushrooms, belonging to the genus tuber and consequently to the family tuberaceae, class of ascomycetes. As a hypogeum, it grows and matures in the ground below the roots of some types of trees, especially oaks and holm oaks. It has very ancient origins if you think that some scholars believe that this rare product of the earth was already known and consumed at the time of the Sumerians (mixed with vegetables and legumes) and the Babylonians (IV-II millennium BC).

The activity includes transport on board the Jeep in the truffle hunting area, which varies according to the season. As soon as you arrive at your destination, there will be a brief theoretical introduction concerning the history and research of truffles, the training of dogs, the various types of truffles and the types of symbiotic plants.

Then the real research of the truffle with the trusted dogs will begin. Once the research is finished, you will return to the meeting place, to start the tasting or lunch, based on the experience booked.
