So here I was in Umbria (Italy) and a cousin of mine, who grows truffles asks me if I would be interested in joining him one early morning for a truffle hunt. He knows this guy who is said to be, with his dogs, the best truffle hunter in Umbria. Two days later at 7 a.m. here I was standing in a secret location under oak trees witnessing two dogs with their master hunting for truffles. I was told that these dogs could go on for five to six hours before getting bored. And indeed the hounds seemed to have a lot of fun doing this job and I must say they were very efficient. One hour and a quarter later 1,5 kg of truffles had found their way into a bag. I'm very thankful to have been given the opportunity to witness this rather unusual hunt.
