White truffles in Alba, Italy

White truffles are a delicacy: last year a Russian oligarch even paid $95,000 for four pounds of the funghi. What makes them so special is that they don't grow just anywhere: White truffles grow primarily in the forests of the Langhe, in Italy's Piedmont region. The small town of Alba is considered the region's capital, and therefore Italy's white truffle capital. Head to Alba for its infamous International White Truffle Fair, which takes place from October 10th to November 15th this year, or go truffle hunting during high season, which is between September and December for white truffles, and late May until February for black truffles.
