"Who ever says truffle, pronounces a great word, which awakens erotic and gourmand ideas both in the sex dressed in petticoats and in the bearded portion of humanity." J. A. Brillat-Savarin, 1825

Oregon truffles are emerging as one of the world's great delicacies, taking their richly-deserved place next to their legendary European cousins. The Fourth Annual Oregon Truffle Festival brings together harvesters, chefs, growers and gastronomic aficionados in celebration of Oregon's most incredible culinary treasures.

The Oregon Truffle Festival, held in and around Eugene during three brisk winter days from January 30-February 1, 2009, celebrates the magnificent Oregon truffles as they reach the peak of ripeness in their native soil. It is the first festival of its kind in North America, dedicated to sharing the experience of the chefs, foragers and fans of Oregon's wild truffles from their hidden source in the forest to their glory on the table.
