We are profoundly grateful to the Oregon Truffle Festival for their generous sponsorship of this year's Maialata celebration. Their unwavering commitment to honoring and promoting Oregon's truffle heritage aligns seamlessly with our event's dedication to traditional culinary arts and community engagement.
The festival's support not only enriches the Maialata experience but also underscores the collaborative spirit that propels Oregon's gastronomic community forward. As we gather to partake in the time-honored traditions of Maialata, we recognize that such events are elevated through partnerships with organizations like the Oregon Truffle Festival.
About the Oregon Truffle Festival
Established in 2006, the Oregon Truffle Festival (OTF) is a distinguished nonprofit organization dedicated to celebrating Oregon's native truffles and fostering the cultivation of European truffles within the state. Recognized as one of the nation's premier culinary events, OTF has garnered attention from esteemed publications such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and National Geographic.
Each winter, the festival orchestrates a series of immersive experiences, including truffle forays, culinary workshops, and exclusive dinners, all centered around the revered Oregon truffle. A highlight of the festivities is the Joriad North American Truffle Dog Competition, North America's only truffle-hunting event, where trained dogs and their handlers compete to unearth these prized fungi.
