Truffles are, essentially, specific mushroom varieties that grow underneath trees and below the ground and are incredibly difficult to locate, however, their strong aroma makes it easier for dogs to seek them out. Truffle hunting in Villa Bibbiani is a foraging process that involves trained dogs accompanying our Italian truffle hunters to sniff out the cherished mushrooms buried deep beneath the forest floor. The dogs are typically chosen to uncover truffles as they do not harm or disturb the root structure of surrounding trees where truffles can continue to grow.
