Growing with nature.
The best that Istrian soil has to give. Delicious, divine, rustic, the pinnacle of gastronomic experience. Nature’s wonder, incomparable and irreplaceable.
The truffle is a subterranean fungus, growing in a symbiosis on the roots of certain kinds of trees, most commonly the oak, beech and hazelnut. In order to preserve the natural cycle and habitat of truffles, the sites of this treasure need to be handled in a conscientious and responsible manner, enabling the unimpeded continuation of the mycorrhiza. The Mirna river valley is the largest location where the Istrian white truffle is found.
There are several types of truffles growing in Istria, among which the Istrian white truffle (Tuber magnatum pico) is by far the best known and most prized. It matures from September until January. This is also the best period to enjoy this premium gastronomic delicacy. In winter, one can also find the black truffle of the Tuber brumale variety, and if you want to enjoy truffles all year round, the Tuber aestivum black truffle is there for you to savor, as well as some of the numerous truffle products from our range.
WHITE TRUFFLE
Lat. Tuber Magnatum Pico
The most highly valued among all types of truffles. During truffle season, this delicacy’s intense scent will draw any true truffle aficionado. It grows from September to January at 1 to 25 cm below ground and can be found at the roots of oak, beech and hazelnut trees. Its flesh is beige to ochre, interspersed with thin white veins. The white truffle is classified according to the weight of each piece, but whether you try just a small sample of a few grams or an extra-large specimen, the quality and aroma are always the same. It can also be eaten raw, without any thermal processing.
BLACK SUMMER TRUFFLE
Lat. Tuber aestivum
The black truffle that grows throughout summer until late fall is one of the most common black truffle types. It can be found at 1 to 10 cm below ground at the roots of hazelnut, poplar, oak, beech and pine trees. Its flesh is beige to light brown, interspersed with thin white veins. It has a milder, less intense aroma, but is still in high demand and adored by truffle lovers. It can be eaten raw or briefly cooked.
BLACK WINTER TRUFFLE
Lat. Tuber brumale
The most aroma-intensive tuber among black truffles has its season in winter, from September until January. Its flesh is dark brown, interspersed with thicker white veins. It can be found at 1 to 15 cm below ground at the roots of oak and hazelnut trees. It is recommended to cook it briefly before consumption.
PERIGORD BLACK TRUFFLE
Lat. Tuber melanosporum
The most highly valued among black truffles due to its distinctly intense flavor and aromatic scent. Its flesh is dark brown to black, interspersed with very thin white veins. It grows from January until spring at 1 – 20 cm below ground underneath hazelnut, oak and hop hornbeam trees. It is recommended to cook it briefly before consumption.
A truffle hunt is a special and unforgettable event for any fan of this subterranean mushroom. We will tell you a story of our family truffle hunting tradition and convey the full experience from the adrenaline and anticipation of seeking this treasure to preparing the joint find and enjoying the aromas and flavors of our truffle products and delicacies.
Visit us, treat yourself with unforgettable experience of truffle hunting and find out the story of this jewel of nature.
 The hunt is unique, it requires patience and dedication, as well as a great love of this subterranean mushroom. The specific scent that comes from damp soil, mostly in oak woods, is impossible to discern for human senses, but a trained dog’s sense of smell will feel it and find the truffle. |  By rapidly moving its paws, the dog points to the area where it has found a truffle, showing its owner the spot where this underground treasure can be unearthed. Truffle dogs are highly prized and have been bred and trained for truffle hunting in our family over many generations. |  Any time of day or night is suitable for truffle hunting. One can never know when truffles will release their magical scent, which makes truffle hunting always unique and adventurous. |
