Discovery Italy experiencing food!
Truffle hunt
This is the perfect season to walk in nature and discover all the secrets of truffle hunting. This noble and ancient art is as special as the truffle itself, which is considered one of the most exquisite ingredients in Italian gastronomy. Accompanied by a guide and trained dogs, truffle hunting requires patience and a love for nature. It is especially practiced in the region of Piedmont, where the International White Truffle Fair is held every year.
Pasta making class
The most classic Italian experience is learning from the skilled hands of Italian cooks how to craft the perfect fresh pasta. A true gift to take home after the trip: the knowledge and the sensory memory of what it feels like to mix, roll out, and shape different types of pasta. Don’t miss the opportunity to create and enjoy a pasta dish made from scratch by you!
Olive picking
Before anything else comes the olive oil. At the heart of the best recipes is this golden nectar, making it essential to understand how extra-virgin olive oil is produced by visiting a frantoio (olive mill). You can also enjoy visiting an olive grove during this season, when the olives are ripe and ready to be harvested and brought to the mills to begin the olive oil production process.
