Tuscany Things to Do

White truffles are the most expensive foodstuff in the world and October is the beginning of white truffle season in Italy. The weather conditions during summer determine the abundance or scarcity of truffles and thus the price. This can vary from around 2000 euro (US$ 2500) per kilo to 7000 euro (US$ 9400) per kilo for the best quality in the scarcest years. This means that truffles are not a food to be eaten casually.
