A proposito di questo titolo

 At the end of September we met up with Jonathan McGowan and Tembo to try our luck at Truffle hunting in North Wales.

Jonathan is in the truffle hunting business and last year he found the first known wild truffle in North Wales for over 70 years. We spent several hours with Jonathan, following Tembo around a couple of woodlands local to us which have the right sort of habitat for truffles and talking about everything related to truffles, fungi and the legalities of truffle hunting in the wild.

We also learn about the iconic lagotto romagnolo dog breed and how he has been trained to sniff out the treasured truffles, the downside of using pigs for hunting truffles, and the cut throat business of truffle hunting in Italy.
