There is nothing trifling about this truffle our friend
Roberto Angelini is holding; not only is it enormous, it's also heavy! Here in Umbria truffle hunting is an ancient art; having used pigs for years, dogs are now used to hunt for the truffles, and as you can tell this doggy brought home a winner!
Just thinking about all the luscious things one could prepare with this baby is mind boggling.....I could go on like Bubba in the movie
Forest Gump 
where he talks about all the ways you can cook shrimp, but instead talk about truffles!

My mouth is watering just thinking about all the lovely dishes one could make from such an amazing specimen! Roberto will also pair the perfect wine with this beautiful truffle.....today at lunch we had an amazing new wine Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia 2008....if you have had Sassicaia, you will love this wine! A super Tuscan, by the
Bolgheri family (yes, those Bulgari's) the wine is just as beautiful as their jeweled creations.
Our daughter and her family left this morning, and we are missing them already, but our son
Ryan will be arriving on Thursday evening into Rome, and we are looking forward to introducing him to Italy. Wishing you
buona sera from Spello.
