Ciao Tom,
I just go back from hunting Pico. I went to the nearby province, because in Reggio Emilia hunting is still closed.
I started at 9.00 am and after 1 hour and 30 minutes I was there. In two hours of hunting Filù found 7/8 Pico. Unfortunately the weather is still warm and this Pico is easily invaded by worms. Pico will be good when cold begin.
Of these 7/8 Pico only half are acceptable as fragrance and texture. The rest I let them eat by Filù. Because she has done good a lot, after two months that we don't hunting.
As you can see from the photos, the size is good (59 gr., 47 grams, 33 grams. ...). Usually in places where this Pico borns, people do good hunting when it is cold. Hopefully.
This weekend Mario and Piera went to Switzerland (near Basel) to judge a truffle hunting competition organized by Club Schweiz of Lagotto. I'm sure they would rather be hunting with me.Please say to me as soon as possible the date when you come in Italy
