| Delicious black truffles (tartufo nero) |
La Bisaccia del Tartufaro (or the Truffle Hunters' Satchel)
The tiny medieval hilltop village of Citerna (just over the border in Tuscany) is host to the annual truffle fair this coming weekend on the 8th and 9th of October.
The streets are lined with stands from local suppliers selling
everything woodlandy from truffles and porcini mushrooms to honey,
chestnuts, homemade jams, and vin santo.
All the suppliers are based in the north of Umbria and it is a wonderful
chance to taste the delicious goodies that the Upper Tiber Valley has
to offer.
October is a fantastic month to see Umbria, with the autumn colours just setting in and lots of festivals taking place, including Eurochocolate in Perugia! The apartment at Villa Bastiola offers a great base to stay while visiting the area and enjoying the different festivals.
