It’s a great time of year on the West Coast for everyone who digs truffles – literally and figuratively.
In January and beyond, festivals and restaurants devoted to the fabulously flavored fungi will be packed with not only those who love the aromatic delicacy, but also those who root them out of the ground.
While truffles are thought to have originated centuries ago in Europe and the Mediterranean region, they are now grown in the United Kingdom, Spain, Sweden, New Zealand, Australia and Chile. They also are found in their natural habit – orchards and forests — from northern California to southern Washington, which is what the January celebrations are all about.
First up is the fifth annual Napa Truffle Festival, Jan. 16-19, pairing world-class cuisine and cutting-edge science. The festival focuses on two complementary aspects of European truffles: the best chefs on the planet known for truffle cuisine, and international truffle experts and scientists recognized for their expertise and data on truffle cultivation. Fungi foodies and aspiring truffle growers alike will find activities to satisfy their appetite and curiosity.
