SUPER TRUFFLE GOES TO HONG KONG 

No sign of crisis in the truffle market! At the recent annual truffle auction at the Castle of Grinzane Cavour (Cuneo), this years super white truffle from Alba (Piedmont) was purchased by a buyer from Hong Kong. The monster tuber, weighing 750 grams, was knocked down for 100,000.

Another truffle, weighing 385 grams, was purchased by a local Italian buyer for 7,700 who donated it to charity.
