White truffles are more pungent and garlicky, with musky, almost cheesy notes, while black truffles are milder, nuttier, and slightly chocolatey. A little goes a long way \u2014 truffles are usually shaved thinly over food to enhance, not overpower, a dish.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_do_truffles_cost_in_Italy\"><\/span>How much do truffles cost in Italy?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Prices vary widely depending on the type, quality, and season:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>White truffles: typically range from \u20ac300 to \u20ac600 per kilo, though exceptional specimens can cost much more<\/li>\n<li>Black truffles: generally more affordable, around \u20ac100\u2013\u20ac300 per kilo<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is why it is a great idea to visit one of the truffle festivals in Italy. Because you\u2019ll find smaller truffles, truffle creams, oils, p\u00e2t\u00e9s, and sauces starting from \u20ac5\u2013\u20ac15, making it easy to taste truffles without a big splurge.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_best_dishes_to_eat_with_truffles\"><\/span>What are the best dishes to eat with truffles?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Truffles shine best in simple dishes that let their aroma stand out. Classic pairings you\u2019ll often find at festivals include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fresh pasta like tagliatelle or tajarin<\/li>\n<li>Risotto with butter and Parmigiano Reggiano<\/li>\n<li>Eggs (fried, scrambled, or soft-boiled)<\/li>\n<li>Polenta<\/li>\n<li>Thinly sliced carpaccio or beef fillet<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The rule of thumb: fewer ingredients, better truffle flavor.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22329\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Food-tour-Bologna-DevourTours-269.jpg\" alt=\"A woman passing around plates of pasta to people at a table.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Food-tour-Bologna-DevourTours-269.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Food-tour-Bologna-DevourTours-269-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>\n<p><strong>Ready to experience Italy beyond the guidebooks? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/\"><strong data-start=\"55\" data-end=\"75\">Walks Of Italy<\/strong><\/a> to discover unforgettable small-group and private guided tours across the country, from iconic landmarks to hidden local favorites.
