is proud to present


   

These "Diamonds of the Kitchen", with their irresistible aroma,  are never cultivated in farm or garden.   They grow wild in the woods, and have to be found by specially bred and trained dogs and pigs.   The famous white truffles are found only in Italy, in the Piedmont region, in and around the town of Alba.   Each trifolao, as truffle hunters are called in dialect, has his lucky spots, often handed down from father to son. 

Once these treasures have been unearthed, they are used to memorable effect in risotto, pasta, veal, salads, appetizers, etc.   Sante is proud to offer, during the autumn season, these rare and delectable treats.
