Truffle hunting in Italy is a magical experience that blends nature, tradition, and taste, and we love the areas  around Alba; Umbria, with its scenic forests near Norcia offering fragrant black truffles; and Tuscany, where charming countryside meets culinary delight. 

Truffle season depends on the type — white truffles are in season from October to December, while black truffles can be found from November to March, and the summer variety from May to August. 

Olive oil tastings in Italy are a sensory journey into one of the country’s most treasured traditions, we love Tuscany Regions, as the olives are known for its bold, peppery oils; Puglia, Italy’s olive oil capital with smooth, fruity varieties; and Umbria, where the oils are green, grassy, and deeply aromatic. 

The prime season is during the harvest in late October to December, when the oil is freshly pressed and at its most vibrant.

Pecorino cheese is one of Italy’s most beloved & ancient cheeses, made exclusively from sheep’s milk and rich in bold, savoury flavour.

Sardinia, where Pecorino Sardo is often sharper and more intense; and Lazio, the birthplace of Pecorino Romano, famously salty and perfect for grating over pasta, Pecorino is produced year-round,

Focaccia is enjoyed year-round, and particularly enjoyed during the spring and summer months when Italy's olive harvest infuses the bread with fresh, vibrant flavours.

Pasta making in Italy is celebrated as an art and varies from region to region. 

In Emilia-Romagna, tradition shines through in the crafting of delicate tagliatelle, tortellini, and other egg-based pastas, while Campania offers robust, textured varieties ideal for heartier sauces.
