The leitmotif of this 89th edition starts from the exceptional combination of egg and white Alba truffle that together create the perfect balance of taste. In the Langhe Monferrato and Roero, the most important gastronomic district in Italy, the “lamellata di tartufo” represents the perfect link between the traditional table and the starred cuisine: an inevitable element and exceptional added value on the dishes of the territory.
In Milan, together with Maddalena Fossati Dondero, director of “La Cucina Italiana”, there were Liliana Allena President of the Alba International White Truffle Fair, Antonio Degiacomi, President of the National Center for Truffle Studies, Stefano Mosca, Director of the International White Truffle Fair of Alba, Emanuele Bolla deputy mayor of the City of Alba, and Umberto Griggi, General Secretary of the District of Montenapoleone.
“We are ready to experience a new extraordinary season of the Alba White Truffle – declares the President of the International Truffle Fair of Alba Liliana Allena – with a Fair that intends to celebrate the most precious resource of our land, strong travel motivation for all those who come on the hills of Langhe, Roero and Monferrato Unesco World Heritage. The scent and flavour of the White Truffle of Alba will be enhanced by the expert hands of the chef who will liven up the Alba Tartufo show cooking as well as from the precious objects that, thanks to the collaboration with the Creative City of Limoges and Fabriano, keep our white diamond perfect. We are happy that Davide Oldani has also chosen the Fair to present XFETTA, an object with an innovative cut. The 89th International White Truffle Fair of Alba represents the expression of a perfect balance between tradition and innovation, between everyday experience and excellence, among the simple ingredients like milk and unique like our White Truffle. »
