Cooking show with chef Simone Grazioso

Simone Grazioso is a chef and entrepreneur originally from the Langhe, known to the general public for his journey as a finalist of MasterChef Italia 14

The International White Truffle of Alba Fair is one of the main showcases of haute gastronomy and Italian excellence.

The theme chosen for the 2026 edition, Authentic Relationships, represents the natural continuation of the thematic paths developed in recent editions.

After placing the future, the intelligence of nature, and deep respect for the earth at the center, the Fair now intends to explore the value of authentic relationships: those between man and nature, between community and landscape, between tradition and innovation, between the territory and the world, and between those who safeguard the truffle heritage and those who discover it through tourist and cultural experiences.

The new image of the 2026 edition visually captures this approach: the paw of the tabui, the truffle dog, rests on the Tuber magnatum Picco held by a human hand, in a gesture of delivery, trust, and reciprocity.

Cooking show

The Cooking Shows offer an immersive experience of signature cuisine, where the chef prepares the dish live on stage, weaving together technique and inspiration.

Alta Langa elegantly accompanies the entire journey, which culminates in the tasting, enriched—upon request—by the White Truffle of Alba and exclusive dedicated gifts.

It includes:

  • The dish prepared by the chef
  • A glass of Alta Langa DOCG
  • S.Bernardo water
  • A 100g panettoncino by Galup
  • The Tartufo Regale, an exclusive artisanal praline created by Michelin-starred chef Ugo Alciati, which faithfully reproduces the shape and color of the famous Alba Truffle.

Simone Grazioso

His cuisine is born from the encounter between Piedmontese tradition and international influences, with a particular focus on the quality of raw materials and the search for new balances of taste.

Through his gastronomic project in Alba, he proposes a contemporary cuisine that unites technique, creativity, and territory, reinterpreting the flavors of the Langhe with an innovative and cosmopolitan gaze.

Beppe Fenoglio Hall

The Hall is dedicated to the writer from Alba Beppe Fenoglio (1922 – 1963), author of works such as Il Partigiano Johnny, Una questione privata, and Primavera di bellezza.

In the splendid monumental complex of the Magdalene Courtyard, the center of Alba’s cultural life, two large works by Gallizio face each other on the walls of the conference hall dedicated to Beppe Fenoglio.

This hall, set up during the Truffle Fair, hosts the Cooking Shows.
