As was the case for 2021, also the year 2022 proved to be a very difficult year for the truffle world so far: drought and extremely high temperatures (October 2022 was the hottest on record for more than 200 years) made the search for the precious tubers very difficult. The reason this form of truffle is so sought-after is that it is notably more pungent and flavourful than other truffles. It is also much more delicate, and for this reason, it is rarely cooked. The white truffle can be shaved over dishes or infused to create products such as truffle oil or butter.

Truffles in Italy grow mainly in northern and central regions. The most famous region in Italy (and worldwide) for white truffles is Piedmont.
