Boutique del Tartufo is a shop located in the old town of Volterra, a wonderful medieval town in Tuscany Region, in Italy. Here you can buy and taste some truffle products. Really, if you are a gourmet or a truffle-lover, here you can taste and excellent quality products with truffle like a focaccia di pecorino e tartufo nero (focaccia with pecorino cheese and black teuffle) or a focaccia di funghi e tartufo bianco (focaccia with mushrooms and white truffle). Very recommendable to buy local products (with truffle obviously).

My wife and I had 2 objectives for visiting Volterra: Etruscan history and alabaster. When leaving the Etruscan Museum, we asked for directions to an alabaster shop and were directed right around the corner. We entered to find not just a shop, but a workshop where Roberto was hard at work on a commission. Upon entering he came over to greet us, introduced himself and spoke to us about different kinds of alabaster. We watched him as he worked on a piece and then browsed over the pieces for sale in the workshop. While we would have loved to buy a lamp, we were concerned about it breaking in transit. We ultimately settled on two vases/candlesticks and a small handful of smaller tealight holders. We highly recommend a visit to Alab Arte. It is worth a trip to Volterra.

Nel pieno centro storico di Volterra, puoi visitare l'altro punto vendita, "La Cantina di Fabio Shop": un angolo in cui la tradizione contadina rivive grazie al recupero dell’atmosfera delle case di un tempo che fu! Gli armadi bianchi laccati e i lampadari circolari che davano la buonanotte a quelle che furono le contadine volterrane, regalano oggi ai visitatori attimi di una Volterra lontana, forse dimenticata, ma di grande valore culturale e, soprattutto, popolare."
