Doha, Qatar: The second Souq Waqif Truffle Exhibition and Auction kicked off yesterday morning at the Eastern Square of Souq Waqif.
On its opening day, the exhibition showcased white and brown truffles from Algeria and Saudi Arabia, offering a rare and sought-after culinary delicacy for local food enthusiasts and traders.
The exhibition will be open daily from 8am to 12pm, or until stocks of the prized truffles, known locally as Fagga, run out.
The event, in partnership with the Ministry of Commerce and Industry and the Ministry of Municipality, is expected to run for at least four months. During Ramadan, however, operating hours will be adjusted.
Speaking to The Peninsula, Jamal Ibrahim Al Ishaq, the Exhibition and Auction Manager at Souq Waqif, said that 150 boxes of truffles arrived from Saudi Arabia and Algeria for the launch. He also shared that more supplies will be available in the coming weeks, with shipments from Iraq, Syria, and Iran expected soon.
