Order of Knights of the Truffle and Wines of Alba
History
The Cavalieri del Tartufo – the “Knights of the Truffle” - is a society based in Piedmont, dedicated to the preservation of the traditional food and wine of the region. Those things are so popular now that it’s a little hard to believe that they were ever threatened, but in the 1960s they were rapidly disappearing, and the diligent work of the first generations of Cavalieri brought widespread appreciation of the culinary riches of the region, assuring that we can still enjoy them today.
