Ciao Tom.
In Italy not good Pico season. All trufflers are disappointed. I think we are lucky. Mario and Piera found 800 gr. of truffles ten days ago, good size (one of there was 193 gr.). Day after Mario and me gone hunt and found 300 gr. We can’t lament.
We go in the wood before sun born, with torch and sneaking away as thieves. Pico hunt is thing of crazy people. Rain, wind, snow, cold ……. nothing stop us. When Pico calls, we must go!!
Also tomorrow we go. Mario comes in Reggio Emilia at 4 a.m. and together will go in the place where we hope find the king of the truffles.
I know you would be one of our! I hope you can realize this……. but you must come in Italy. This is the best country for every truffle type.
Attached you will see some photos of the last hunt.
P.S.: I don’t knew you love so much the fridge!! Enjoy your meal!
Best regards.

Paolo
