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. The truffle is a natural product that is consumed and used widely in Orvieto cuisine. It is mainly consumed raw cut into small slices or grinded as a sauce for first courses (umbrichelli, tagliatelle or tagliolini), accompany second courses of meat or simply consumed in salads. In the city there are various businesses that sell 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 product.
