Talking about food, today we will go to a special place. After eating the best breakfast in the world, which is served in almost every Italian caf\u00e9 (the locals call them bars), we leave Fano and we head towards the inland. Our first destination is Acqualagna, one of Europe\u00b4s truffle productive places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Acqualagna is a small village at the foot of the Apennine mountains, crossed by the Candigliano river. It has many (for a 500 habs village) and very good restaurants, which serve local dishes. Their star ingredient is the truffle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Truffles are black (cost about 500 Euros per kilo) and white (cost about 3.500 Euros per kilo), but, don\u00b4t worry, a few grams are enough to turn a plate from common to extra terrestrial. By the way, don\u00b4t ever buy truffles from the web, as they must be very very fresh, otherwise their aroma is inferior and not satisfying. One more advise. NEVER buy these awful products, called truffle oil. In the majority they are common oils, enhanced with artificial flavours, which add a paranormal and cheap taste to the dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At Acqualagna there are many groceries selling truffles, I suggest you to taste them in place and not to buy if you don\u00b4t have a kitchen, where you stay in Italy. I also suggest you to visit Acqualagna’s museum of truffles, to find out everything about finding, cooking and eating truffles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
