The History of Truffles in Istria

The story of Istrian truffles goes back centuries. Hidden beneath the oak and beech forests, truffles were once considered a mysterious and almost magical food. Local families passed down the knowledge of truffle hunting from generation to generation, using specially trained dogs to uncover these rare treasures.
