Best Italian Food in Alba, Italy!! World’s Best White Truffle Pasta!

[@andrewmccaffrey9381]

It was so cool getting to meet Mark at the truffle festival. That's my youngest daughter in the red top and black vest while the team was having lunch. Mark is every bit as genuine, humble and gracious in person and made sure that I got to meet the rest of the team. Happy travels from Dallas, Texas!

Italians know how to pair their food & beverages, using only the freshest ingredients,all the while keeping it simple & authentic to bring out the natural flavours.🌿🥗🍝🍷🧀🇮🇹

[@Annkeo]

I like the sincere expression his Thai wife made after tasting or smelling the truffles. It gives me a perspective of those foods based on Thai’s food preferences.

[@SlyPuma]

I was fortunate to live in this area of Asti for 3 years. Thank you Mark for the sharing your experience of one of the most beautiful & delicious places on Earth!

Um is that where Asti Cinzano vermouth comes from ? Just curious !

[@robertomanfredi342]

@@gregorygant4242 Though Cinzano is from Turin, Asti has Perlino which produces his vermouth and spumante wines locally. I basically grew up a few km away from the factory.

Now we know why Italy has influenced the entire world through its amazing and varied cuisine…❤❤❤

[@fasullodavvero]

Hai ragione,oltre a millenni di storia (in cucina) abbiamo moltissimi prodotti unici al mondo e di altissima qualità,senza contare che ogni città,ogni paese e ogni casa ha le sue ricette,da nord sud è una fila interminabile di ricette fantastiche,una vita sola non basta a scoprirle tutte...

[@chucktz469]

Joe the truffle harvester is the sweetest dog ever!! Those white truffles look amazing I bet their aroma & taste is just a exquisite pleasant experience all together. The creamy pasta or carbonara is one my absolute favorite so I can just imagine the flavor of roasted garlic butter sauce drizzled over the pasta garnished off with nutty white truffles... Omgoodness!! What a tasty combination of sensational brilliance. Mark you certainly know what phenomenal ingredients do to a magnificent dish per say so I definitely trust your culinary expertise. Love this culinary tour in Italy & definitely anticipating on what's up to come.🍷Chao my friend!! 🍄🧈🧄

[@randyschwaggins]

He has done an amazing job finding a niche as a KZbin food blogger before anyone else thought of it...and he works hard to produce good quality content...so kudos. He isn't a foodie at all. After doing this for so many years his food knowledge outside Thailand is next to nothing. But he seems a very nice guy...so I'm not gonna bury him because he doesnt actually have an interest in food!

I was in Tuscany in October where we got to watch a dog trainer who was teaching a dog to hunt black truffles. It was so fun (and a nice walk in the woods)! We also had dinner at Ad Hock in Rome where they have 2-3 prix fixe tasting menus. One of them was the truffle menu. Highly recommend!

[@TheRobby1971]

Loving your work Mark, lovely to see Hamid & Geoff again too.

Its safe to say Marks taste buds are on a whole other planet.

[@riproar11]

I used to live near a high-end produce store that had all kinds of products from Europe and unique cheeses. They had a semi-hard cheese from Italy that tasted like gouda and had black truffle bits in it. The cheese was already incredible but the truffle bits were sublime! It is impossible to describe and can only be understood by tasting it. You can find truffle-infused oils in stores like TJ Maxx Homegoods and Marshalls to get an idea of what truffles taste like. I have read that most of those oils don't contain any real truffle but give a simulation of the flavor, similar to "chocolate-flavored" syrup. Same with those high-end potato chips that say "truffle" on them.

[@panterone1769]

Non hai idea come sia il tartufo bianco. È fantastico, dal cercatore l'ho pagato 4500 euro al chilo. Quello nero costa 10 volte meno. Un motivo ci sarà.

[@shannondore]

I made truffle butter noodles for dinner tonight but my truffles came from Trader Joe's truffle seasoning. Wish I had the real deal. I thought it was funny to sit down to eat and open up KZbin to see you did a video on truffles.😄 And that dog was so beautiful and he works harder than I do.🙂
