Head to Italy for truffles

Alba International Truffle Fair is Oct. 11-Nov. 11 in Alba, Italy. There are many truffle festivals in northern and central Italy in the fall harvest season, but this one is the biggest. And one doesn’t have to shell out big bucks to purchase truffles in order to enjoy the occasion. Restaurants do their best to showcase the prized fall find on special menus. And since this is Italy, you’ll also find other regional items, such as cheese, cured meats, honey, wine, olive oil, and egg pastas. www.fest300.com/festivals/ alba-international-whitetruffle
