For the truffle-loving travelers, it is now the best time to seek their all-time favorite Italian tuber. At the present, locals are panicking due to the shortage, in essence its huge price soar dangerously affected the production of the delicacies it contains. Sadly, the White Truffle Festivals might also be in danger. In here are the substantial details regarding the shocking "White Truffle Emergency."
Sadly, NY Post reports about the threatening shortage of white truffles in Italy. Indeed, "tripola d' Alba Madonna" as it is called is the tastiest and the most expensive of its kind. Its scarcity is notably a worldwide problem. Ristorante Armani's Maitre d' Edwin Fernandez on the same news said: "Everyone wants white truffles, and they are simply unavailable." Technically, demand makes the tuber's price rise and it's what scary. For now, its market sale is at $250 per ounce which is a wide berth with the original $40 before.
At the moment, Huffington Post may have the reason for the insufficiency: "This is primarily due to change of land use or degradation of land and malpractice harvesting in the wild." If not answered, this can continue for a long time.
As stated by Travel + Leisure, truffles are Europe's diamond which is even prized than gold. Supposedly, Southern Europe is the richest truffle field; all the finest tubers were produced in the Areas like Alba and Amandola.
Most of the time the truffle celebrations happen during October to November as it's the richest months for harvesting it. While the mountains are rich snowcapped, its ground absorbs the nutrients it needs making it more nutty and woody when eaten.
Lastly, avid followers of this world delicacy must clearly make their way now to seize Italy's mystical white truffles or else they might not taste it for some time. All winter truffle festival perhaps will get canceled or only lesser truffle kinds will be served.
