Truffle

The truffle is a root. In the area of San Miniato it lives in symbiosis with oaks, poplar and limes in a very humid and shady terrain. The truffle hunting experience starts with the tartufaio (truffle hunter) and its faithful trained dog. Lunch or dinner truffle based will be part of the experience!
