In the south of Piedmont there is an amphitheatre of hills which rear up from the Maritime Alps and then slope gently down towards Alba, the river Tanaro and a small tract of more fertile flat land.
On the other side of the river the hills rise again revealing softly sloping land which undulates and then develops into rugged, wild peaks. Above the hills the fickle sky daily changes from clear blue to storm clouds and brings warm sunsets and frosty winter mornings to the green of the meadows and trees.
This is a beautiful part of Piedmont to behold, the Langhe and the Roero: a prodigious Land of Precious Bounty: the renowned white truffle, prestigious wines, local cuisine, Murazzano cheese, Tonda Gentile hazelnuts.
The people born in these parts know that, besides the charm, the pleasing, precious scents this land offers, there is here a substratum of sensations, intuition and awareness which are worth sharing and appreciating.
Domenica Bertolusso and Beppe Montanaro heeded these signs from the beginning: in 1975 they set up Tartuflanghe in Piobesi, a small village in the Roero, a few kilometres from the town of Alba. The centre is dedicated to the research and production of good things for the table
At the core of this idea and this enterprise lies the White Truffle, the chief protagonist of these hills and valleys, the extreme expression of imagination and emotion: the truffle a precious fruit to offer world wide, an outstanding contribution which gives quality to numerous gastronomic specialities.

Beppe’s experience turned this rapport with the earth into a refined research of pleasing combinations, while remaining true to tradition and local production methods.
White truffles and subsequently all the speciality products from Tartuflanghe have achieved acclaim at important tables all over the world, celebrating fine friendship and prestigious occasions. Even when success came, the imperative remained absolute: to emphasize with quality a work which is derived from nature and its elements in order to create ever more pleasing and original recipes.
