Black Truffle Fair
The Black Truffle Fair in Norcia is the mother of all Italian black truffle fairs. Local and national food producers show off their specialities over two tasty editions in Piazza San Benedetto every February.
The black truffles found around Norcia are often considered inferior to the white variety, but they are delicious nonetheless and far from cheap! Visitors to the Black Truffle Fair can sample them grated and sprinkled over tagliatelle, in fish or roast meat dishes.
Norcia also has a whole culture of salting, seasoning and treating pork meat - their prosciutto competes with Parma's, while their sausages and spiced salamis are said to be the best in Italy.
