Important details from the source

• At COMO Castello Del Nero, we go in search of buried treasure, hidden deep in the woods that surround this 12th century Tuscan castle.
• With the help of our professional guide, Mattia, and his two loyal Lagotto Romagnolo dogs, my family and I will be spending the morning taking part in a tradition that stretches back centuries: seeking out Tuscany’s elusive truffles.
• This distant cousin of the mushroom is prized by chefs the world over for its powerful, rich aroma.
• Over the next hour, we’re hoping we’ll be lucky enough to root out enough of these earthy treasures to provide for our lunch.
• Before we set off in earnest, Mattia – an experienced tartufaio, or truffle-hunter, who learnt the skill from his grandfather – introduces us to his faithful hounds.
• This breed, Mattia explains, has been chosen for centuries by tartufaio here in Tuscany for their keen noses.
• While the woolly curls that cover their bodies can give an adorable teddy-bear impression, don’t be mistaken - like Mattia these dogs are hardy, trained professionals skilled at their art.
• The dogs’ noses are already firmly to the ground, ready to sniff out their quarry.
• As we approach the edge of the forest it’s difficult to say whether we’re leading them or if they are leading us.
• The children are particularly keen to get acquainted, and it’s hard to tell who is more excited as they chase towards the forest where we’ll begin our hunt.
