Miranda Borgo del Tartufo — La Tartufata
The festival of Molisan black truffle in Miranda, between culture and taste
About Borgo del Tartufo
Miranda, capital of Molisan black truffle
Miranda Borgo del Tartufo is the festival of culture and gastronomy that celebrates the Molisan summer black truffle (Tuber aestivum Vittadini) every summer in Miranda (province of Isernia, Molise), a village perched at over 800 metres above sea level. The event, organised by the association Ricircolo Mirandese with the patronage of the Province of Isernia and the Municipality, is the evolution of the historic Tartufata, which has attracted thousands of visitors for over twenty years.
La Tartufata: the village becomes an open-air restaurant
The popular heart of the festival is La Tartufata: for several evenings, starting from 8:00 PM in Piazza Sant'Antonio and in the alleys of the historic centre, the village transforms into a large open-air restaurant, where dishes based on black truffle are served. It is a beloved event, combining the conviviality of a village sagra (local festival) with the quality of an excellent product.
Culture, show cooking, and woods
Alongside La Tartufata, the festival offers an extensive programme: the General States of Molisan Truffle, an institutional conference bringing together institutions, businesses, scholars, and operators in the sector; gourmet dinners and show cooking with Molisan chefs; the Truffle Trekking, immersive experiences in the woods guided by truffle hunters and their dogs; and the market in Largo Fontana with local producers, crafts, street food, and fresh and processed truffles.
Why it's worth the trip
Borgo del Tartufo is an opportunity to discover one of the most charming villages in the Isernia hinterland and one of Molise's gastronomic excellences in its authentic context: the woods that produce it, the hands of the truffle hunters who seek it, and the community that has celebrated it for decades.
