Prețul cu care s-a vândut în Italia o trufă de un kilogram, la o licitație internațională

An international truffle auction in Alba, Italy, saw a white truffle weighing 1.009 kg sold for €110,000 to a buyer from Hong Kong. Another truffle of 402 grams fetched €16,000 from a Chinese professor present at the event. The auction, which has expanded globally, allows remote bidding from various cities. Proceeds from the auction support charitable causes, totaling around €7.2 million since its inception in 1999. The white truffle, known as "Tuber magnatum Pico," is highly sought after for its unique flavor and grows in specific soil conditions.
