San Pietro Avellana is known as the 'home of the white truffle', celebrated each year with summer black-truffle and autumn white-truffle fairs. Local truffle hunters lead half-day excursions into the oak and hazel woods with trained dogs, teaching how truffles are found and finishing with a tasting of the prized 'white gold' of Molise.
