Alba white truffles are a gourmet indulgence found in the Piedmont region of northern Italy and their high price, around $603 per 100g (3.5oz), is due to their unpredictable growth habits. Usually in season between October and January, no one has been able to domesticate them, relying instead on trained dogs and pigs to sniff them out, so availability differs greatly too, even when in season.
