A few years ago we shared our thoughts on the truth about white truffles – which goes into detail on why not all ‘Alba’ truffles are from Alba and the best white truffles don’t necessarily come from Italy.

Anastasia Avramenko has expanded on this in their article for Italy’s Tuorlo Magazine, which you can read here.

Truffles don’t know where the borders are, and suggesting they have changing attributes when they cross an imaginary, artificially drawn line makes no sense. We import a lot of truffles from Istria in Croatia which used to be a part of Italy. So surely, if someone says, Italian truffles taste better, the truffles wouldn’t change their flavour when they became Croatian!
