1. Basic truffle experience truffle hunting (basic experience) (Available in English language all year round)
This experience is recommended for big groups or team building experiences
The forest is a sacred place for the truffle hunter where every day we are “guests” and not “the owners”: for this reason, before starting the Truffle Experience” we need to have a little briefing with our guests!
During our truffle walking in the forest with our canine expert truffle hunter, we will tell you about all of the
different truffles that grow in Tuscany throughout the year, their natural habitat, how to preserve them, the organoleptic characteristics of truffle, its biological cycle, and very importantly, the know how to spot a very high quality truffle instead of the “fake” or “flavoured product”; we will entertain you with truffle stories, such as the one about the largest truffle in the world (found in San Miniato’s area in 1954), the legends that recall the truffle myth that look so much like superhero’s story… but, on that day, the only one superhero will be the truffle dog!
In the basic truffle experience is not included any tasting of fresh truffle.
