Tartufo ( / t ɑːr ˈ t uː f oʊ/, Italian: [tarˈtuːfo]; meaning " truffle") is an Italian dessert of gelato (a type of ice cream) that originated in Pizzo, Calabria. The dessert takes the form of a ball that is composed of two or more flavors of gelato, often with melted chocolate inserted into the center (following the original recipe) or alternatively, with either fruit syrup or frozen fruit—typically raspberry, strawberry, or cherry—in the center. Typically, the dessert is covered in a shell made of chocolate or cocoa, but sometimes cinnamon or nuts are used. The fascination of the precious underground mushroom is also linked to the sales places of the folk tradition. In many Italian squares, Trifolau or Cavatori gather during harvest time to sell the fresh harvest.

As was the case for 2021, also the year 2022 proved to be a very difficult year for the truffle world so far: drought and extremely high temperatures (October 2022 was the hottest on record for more than 200 years) made the search for the precious tubers very difficult.

Umbria The region of Alba in Italy holds a special place in the culture of White truffle. It is home to the annual Alba White Truffle Fair, where truffle enthusiasts and experts gather to celebrate and indulge in this precious ingredient. The fair showcases the exceptional quality of White truffles from the region and highlights the rich cultural heritage associated with their cultivation and appreciation. The tartufo in its present shape was born in Pizzo at Bar Dante (around 1952) just by chance: following the marriage of two wealthy locals, Don Pippo discovered that he had run out of molds used to shape the gelato and couldn't supply the numerous guests. So he tried to solve the problem by putting small portions of hazelnut gelato and of chocolate gelato in the hollow of his hand, into which he added a bit of melted chocolate. He then wrapped everything in sugar paper, thereby creating the well-known shape of the tartufo that he then left to cool. The success of the preparation earned him immediate fame. The original recipe is still treasured by De Maria's relatives.

To this day, the Bar Dante and Bar Ercole activities are managed by family, passing from father to son the secret recipe for making their gelato products.
