Melbourne Truffle Festival
Featuring the tastiest game of hide and seek we've come across yet.
Overview
The second weekend in July is one for truffle hunters and lovers to mark in their diary. Winter is truffle season people, and the good folk at Truffle Melbourne are putting on a festival for the highly-sought after rich delicacy. Did you know that Australia is the 4th largest black truffle producer in the world? Yes, they may be a little bit fancy, but they’re more accessible than what you might think.
Melbourne Truffle Festival, held at the Caulfield Racecourse, will feature Melbourne’s greatest truffle chefs as they demonstrate their tantalisingly tasty secret recipes. There'll be plenty of tastings on offer by the festival's executive chef Philippe Mouchel, plus truffle product samples from other artisan food businesses. Even if you have no idea what to do with truffle, experts on the day will offer advice on finding, choosing and preparing truffle dishes at home.
Truffle snuffling aside, we're counting down until this little gem of a festival highlight. The festival will a stage a mock truffle hunt — with truffle dogs in tow — for those wanting to go on the tastiest game of hide and seek we've come across yet.
