To be a good finder the connection with the trained truffle digger dog is crucial; the research takes place from September to January, preferably at night. Knowledge of the territory is an essential factor for the successful outcome of a “search”.
What’s the italian legislation official position in front of the truffle search? The search is free, whether it is in the forests or in not cultivated land.

And do you know the truffle composition? It contains about 80% water. It is rich in potassium, calcium, sodium, magnesium, iron, zinc and copper.
