A handler calls softly; a truffle dog threads between trunks and freezes, nose down — the earth gives up its secret with a small, ecstatic scuffle. This is the rhythm of the Red Hill truffle hunt: quiet tracking, sudden discovery, then the slow ceremony of shaving a black truffle over steaming wood-fired dough.
