Book your villa in Tuscany and you’ll be able to easily organise your arrival thanks to these new direct flights...

Sitting atop three hillsides that dominate their section of the Arno river valley, San Miniato has resided for hundreds of years. Recorded history dates back to the time of Etruscans and the Romans, but archaeological evidence shows that a settlement of some type has existed on this spot since the Paleolithic era.

The city today lies in the province of Pisa and has roughly 27,000 people in it. On first inspection, San Miniato may not appear to be anything out of the ordinary for Tuscany. Look closer, and a bit lower and you just might find something though...

San Miniato is known for not something that grows above ground, such as the olives and grapes that are so iconic for the region. Instead, this small town produces 25% of Italy's white truffles, prized by chefs and gourmands everywhere. Known as the Tuber Magnatum Pico, or the Food of the Kings, it grows only centimeters below the ground and can be found in a very limited area. As many things in Italy, strict laws govern how the truffles can be gathered and sold. It was here in San Miniato that the largest white truffle on record was found. It was presented as a gift to a visiting Harry Truman just after the end of his presidency in 1954.

Learn all about the long and fascinating tradition of truffle hunting in Tuscany on your next vacation here! This delicious relative of the mushroom is a delicacy all over the world and can be very expensive to buy.

There are professional truffle hunters here who travel through the wooded area of San Miniato with their sniffer dogs in search of the elusive white truffle! The white truffle is the most expensive in the world because of its rarity and delicious pungent flavour. It is pale cream or light brown in colour with white marbling.

A truffle is the fruiting body of an underground fungus. Book a place on a fun truffle hunting trail with an expert guide who will lead through the woods where they grow close to the roots of trees.

They come out of the ground, half hidden under the dirt and could be easily missed without learning tips on how to find them by your expert guide!

We have discussed plenty of sweet treats and savory delights but there is one delicacy that is king in Tuscany and is imported out of the region to every corner of the globe: truffles.

San Miniato in Tuscany is, in fact, one of the most productive truffle-rich areas of Europe and the white truffle that grows in the San Miniato hills is the most valuable variety.

The truffle has greatly impacted local cuisine and is so important to local identity that the town hosts an annual market, the San Miniato National White Truffle Market, during the last three weeks of November, which is internationally celebrated and recognised.
