The countryside around San Miniato is a prime producer of white truffles, the tuber magnatum pico fungus, highly prized in cuisine, and highly priced as a result. Each year in the last three weeks of November, the local business association sponsors a truffle festival in San Miniato. Hordes of visitors fill the town, and there are food stands, special restaurant menus, markets, and parades everywhere.
