The white truffle (tuber magnatum Pico) of the Crete Senesi is considered one of the finest truffles from Italy. Its excellent quality depends on the particular environment of the Crete Senesi: the lack of large industrial facilities, the distance from the major roads, the presence of forests and the intact and wild landscape, are the ideal environment for the growth of the precious white truffle.
