The Orvieto area, with its wooded hills and particularly fertile soil, represents an ideal environment for some first fruits of the earth. Fine mushrooms and above all truffles. The latter is found in abundance both in the black (prevalent) and white and white varieties. Truffle is a natural product of the soil that is consumed and used widely in the Orvieto local cuisine. It is mainly consumed raw cut into small slices or grinded as a sauce for first courses (umbrichelli, pappardelle,tagliatelle or tagliolini), accompany second courses of meat or simply consumed in salads. In the city center you can easily find shops and businesses that sell pure truffles and truffle products, as well as in local trattorias and restaurants there is no shortage of dishes ennobled by the flavor of this unmistakable and delicious product.
