A gastronomical object of desire from Alba, Italy, the white truffle, is a coveted delicacy known for its distinct aroma, taste and aphrodisiac qualities. Just in time for Italian Heritage Month (October), Quattro Gastronomia Italiana is introducing an exclusive seasonal Truffle Menu, created by twin chefs Nicola and Fabrizio Carro. “The (winter) white truffles we get from Alba are truly the best because we source and select our truffles directly from Langa,” explains chef Fabrizio Carro.
