Albi market a hit

The first truffle market to be held at Albi took place on Sunday, Christmas Eve. The stocks of black gold were soon snapped up at 900 euros the kilo. Many of the sellers were from the burgeoning production around the traditional area of Villeneuve-sur-Vere, but this was the first time a market had been held in Albi's covered market. The market is now expected to be every Sunday until the start of February.
Most of the producers will as usual join their colleagues from the Lot for the major market at Lalbenque, but welcome a new outlet for their stock.
