ALBA, ITALY - Welcome to Alba, the world’s capital of Alba white truffles - one of the most expensive ingredients in the world. Today we’re going on a white truffle tour of Alba, we’ll go on a truffle hunt, eat at one of the world’s best truffle restaurants and then visit the International Alba White Truffle Fair. Let’s go see why white truffles are so prized throughout the world!

Truffle hunt - First we’re going on a truffle hunt with Alba Royal Truffles (albaroyaltruffles.com/) - they are renowned for their authentic and some of the best white truffles. We were able to see the entire process of how Joe the dog works with the truffle hunter to find and harvest white and black truffles. Black truffles are above the surface whereas white truffles are a fungus that grows underground and can only be sniffed out by dogs. It was very educational to see. We also had our first taste of Alba white truffles with a few courses at the headquarters.
Bovio Restaurant, La Morra, Italy (maps.app.goo.gl/TkDowyV6KGV36...) - Next up we continued on to easily one of the world’s best Italian food truffle restaurants serving Piedmont cuisine. We decided to buy our own white truffle - and we choose an 80 gram truffle for 400 Euros, after carefully choosing one. Then we ordered a bunch of different dishes, and shaved on th white truffle ourselves. It was a spectacular meal and more white truffles than I’ver ever had in my life in one sitting.
International Alba White Truffle Fair, Alba, Italy - Finally to wrap up this Italian food white truffle tour we visited the acclaimed International Alba White Truffle Fair, which is the place to go if you’re interested in local products and especially white truffles. It was a lot of fun as there’s auctions, and plenty of food to eat.

It was so cool getting to meet Mark at the truffle festival. That's my youngest daughter in the red top and black vest while the team was having lunch. Mark is every bit as genuine, humble and gracious in person and made sure that I got to meet the rest of the team. Happy travels from Dallas, Texas!
Italians know how to pair their food & beverages, using only the freshest ingredients,all the while keeping it simple & authentic to bring out the natural flavours.🌿🥗🍝🍷🧀🇮🇹
I like the sincere expression his Thai wife made after tasting or smelling the truffles. It gives me a perspective of those foods based on Thai’s food preferences.
I was fortunate to live in this area of Asti for 3 years. Thank you Mark for the sharing your experience of one of the most beautiful & delicious places on Earth!

@@gregorygant4242 Though Cinzano is from Turin, Asti has Perlino which produces his vermouth and spumante wines locally. I basically grew up a few km away from the factory.
Now we know why Italy has influenced the entire world through its amazing and varied cuisine…❤❤❤

Joe the truffle harvester is the sweetest dog ever!! Those white truffles look amazing I bet their aroma & taste is just a exquisite pleasant experience all together. The creamy pasta or carbonara is one my absolute favorite so I can just imagine the flavor of roasted garlic butter sauce drizzled over the pasta garnished off with nutty white truffles... Omgoodness!! What a tasty combination of sensational brilliance. Mark you certainly know what phenomenal ingredients do to a magnificent dish per say so I definitely trust your culinary expertise. Love this culinary tour in Italy & definitely anticipating on what's up to come.🍷Chao my friend!! 🍄🧈🧄
it's incredibly famous what you ate! Lucky you, I'm Italian and I've never eaten it! 😅

He has done an amazing job finding a niche as a KZread food blogger before anyone else thought of it...and he works hard to produce good quality content...so kudos. He isn't a foodie at all. After doing this for so many years his food knowledge outside Thailand is next to nothing. But he seems a very nice guy...so I'm not gonna bury him because he doesnt actually have an interest in food!

What an amazing experience indulging into one of the worlds greatest (and rarest) ingredients! I’m jealous. Thx for taking us along.

Love this video so much cause bit is the first time I ever saw anyone harvesting truffles.Joe is one fine truffle finder.Never taste truffles in pasta ever.Hope one day I will have that privilege.Thanks Mark for sharing such a remarkable video.Keep up the good work.❤❤
Happy to see you finally visit the northen part of our beautiful country!! ❤🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
Great Mark! I'm Italian and you are one of my favorite food bloggers! I love every cuisine and you really know how to appreciate food!
I used to live near a high-end produce store that had all kinds of products from Europe and unique cheeses. They had a semi-hard cheese from Italy that tasted like gouda and had black truffle bits in it. The cheese was already incredible but the truffle bits were sublime! It is impossible to describe and can only be understood by tasting it. You can find truffle-infused oils in stores like TJ Maxx Homegoods and Marshalls to get an idea of what truffles taste like. I have read that most of those oils don't contain any real truffle but give a simulation of the flavor, similar to "chocolate-flavored" syrup. Same with those high-end potato chips that say "truffle" on them.
I love your joy of eating! That's like a movie! Thank you Mark!!
great video mark, loved watching your stuff from aus for years thanks mate !
Love it! You are amazing Mark! Truffle heaven! Now I will add Alba on my bucket list for travel. 👍👍👏👏😋😋
We appreciate all your dedication and hard work. You'll always have our support no matter what.

Thank you Mark, your videos are amazing.❤❤❤
Loving your work Mark, lovely to see Hamid & Geoff again too.
You the Man Mark !!!! 💯 One Reason Why I Dream of going to Italy is because of their " FAMOUS " Truffles ! 💯 Another awesome video !!! ✌️
Fantastic truffle-centric foods. I remember Jeffrey from your food adventure in Southwest USA and part of Mexico. I think Hamid guided you in the Middle East. Great to see those two food adventurers again. Haven't seen Micah on this Northern Italy tour. How is he? Is this a second honeymoon for you and Ying? Hope everyone had a great New Year celebration.
Sight from all the extremely delicious food, I just love the bone china dishes and the elegant pattern on them. Beautiful! ❤
Amazing alba - hazelnut & truffle full video with friends. Thank u Mark💚
Mark this is an amazing video as always!!!
Oh what a dream to be able to be where you are searching for the truffles just for the experience. How Very Special and thank you so much for sharing this! What an absolutely moving moment that is @5:35!! I loved it! 🌻
i think ppl take it for granted but your editing is extremely good.
Just beautiful Mark..hope to see more!!..Happy New Year to you and family..un abbraccio dalla Sicilia..👍😋😘
Very interesting and informative Thank you!
I was in Tuscany in October where we got to watch a dog trainer who was teaching a dog to hunt black truffles. It was so fun (and a nice walk in the woods)! We also had dinner at Ad Hock in Rome where they have 2-3 prix fixe tasting menus. One of them was the truffle menu. Highly recommend!
Great video Mark! Loved it. I have never ever eaten a truffle in my life. Looks amazing!

Such an amazing video @Mark Wiens. This was so much insight and information on truffles. A product we don't really have here in India. I have not really tasted it to know how this tastes, but i trust Mark to believe that this must have been one amazing experience. 😘 #FoodAndFoodiesShallPrevail
I just had my first dish with white truffle about 2 weeks ago and it was absolutely fantastic. Wish I could post a picture of the pasta for all your eyes to eat as well.
Love the videos mark!

how exciting finding truffles! and hey Jeffreys there too cool!
Great to see Mr Taster
I made truffle butter noodles for dinner tonight but my truffles came from Trader Joe's truffle seasoning. Wish I had the real deal. I thought it was funny to sit down to eat and open up KZread to see you did a video on truffles.😄 And that dog was so beautiful and he works harder than I do.🙂
Thank you for coming to my city. I hope you enjoyed it and appreciated the incredible History of this city.
36:22 mucha grazie 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I loved that piece of itañol there :)
Thank you for sharing 🇮🇹😋🍽🍽🍽👍
I am so happy to see Mr Taster and Jeffery are still alive and traveling. We are about the same age, so many cheers to their stamina. I really enjoyed their interaction. I wish I was there. Some day soon. If Jeffery still has his restaurant in SoCal, I would like to meet him and Mexipapa for some fun food together. Us old guys need to make things fun.

Why is Mark getting so many dislikes these days, has he done something to offend some group of people or do people really not like this amazing content? Or maybe you just develop a group of haters when your channel grows big enough.. :/
