About White Truffle Market Exhibition

In early November, San Pietro Avellana, in upper Molise (province of Isernia), celebrates its rarest treasure: the prized white truffle (Tuber magnatum Pico). The White Truffle Market Exhibition brings the best truffle hunters and vendors to the village, with stands, tastings, typical recipes, and the opportunity to buy and taste Molise's white gold. A historic event, now around thirty years old, which makes this small Apennine village one of Italy's truffle capitals, alongside Alba and Acqualagna.

The white gold of Molise

In the woods of upper Molise, in San Pietro Avellana (province of Isernia), grows one of the rarest and most prized products of Italian gastronomy: the prized white truffle (Tuber magnatum Pico). Every year, around November 1st and the first weekend of the month, the village dedicates the White Truffle Market Exhibition to it, a twin event to the Black Truffle Fair held in the summer.

A thirty-year tradition

Now in its thirtieth year, the market exhibition attracts the best truffle hunters and vendors of the prized tuber, ready to offer advice, tastings, and the chance to buy truffles directly from producers. Among the stands, you can taste characteristic regional recipes based on white truffle and discover typical products from upper Molise.

Not just truffles

The event is also an opportunity to visit San Pietro Avellana and its Museum of Upper Molise โ€” showcasing customs, traditions, crafts, and archaeological finds โ€” which tells the story of the Samnites and local culture. Recognized as one of Italy's Truffle Towns, the village reaffirms its deep connection with the white gold of its woods with this autumn event.
