Truffles, from Forest to Table
The U.K.'s Guardian digs butts its nose into truffle madness:
Hearing "Dov'è! Dov'è!" (Find! Where is it?) sends [the dogs] away to sniff. If they stop at a particular point the hunter asks, "C'è o non c'è?" (Is it there or isn't it there?) Now comes the tricky part: check the tail. If it looks as if the dog is going to take off, bum first like a furry helicopter, you need to get to him before he gets to the treasure. They are trained, yes, but they find truffles as irresistible as we do. "If they eat one, we just have to tell ourselves it was a small one," says Marco Pinarelli, another of the estate managers.
