The Jewel of our Land

Our farmhouse is located in the hills of the Monferrato Ovadese, an area that’s not only known for its wines, but also for its remarkable white truffle. Everyone agrees on the extraordinary scent and quality of the white truffle of this lands, a true delicacy, Rossini defined the truffle of this hills as “the Mozart of fungus”. In a splendid rural context that takes you back to the past, our farmhouse features a natural reserve of white truffle. 

The Hunt

The Cascina Burroni is situated within wooded private and fenced area where guests, together with the hosts and their faithful ‘truffle-hunting’ dogs, are allowed to ‘hunt for truffles’. During the ‘truffle-hunting’ excursions, which take place either late in the evening or at night-time, the guests will be able to watch the unique relationship between the dogs and their owners, as they search for the precious truffle. With a bit of luck, after walking for a couple of hours, the ‘hunt’ might be turning into a successful one and white truffles will be found and available for purchase.

The truffles of the Cascina Burroni are awarded the official quality and location stamps.
