Inspired by Baroness Barbara, a symbol of elegance and a lifelong admirer of Istria's natural treasures, Tartufi della Baronessa was created to honour the region's exceptional truffle heritage. Her legacy inspires our commitment to authenticity, craftsmanship, and excellence.

Our Story

In the quiet forests of Istria, where the soil hides one of nature’s most extraordinary treasures, Tartufi della Baronessa was created.

The idea was never just to build a brand, but to create a story — one that reflects elegance, patience, and respect for nature. The Baronessa is at the heart of this vision: a symbol of refinement, intuition, and timeless beauty, guiding the way we approach every truffle we find and every product we craft.

What begins in the forest continues in our hands, where tradition meets careful craftsmanship. Each truffle carries its own character, and our role is to preserve its authenticity without compromise.

Tartufi della Baronessa is not just about truffles — it is about transforming nature’s rarest gift into an experience that feels both pure and unforgettable.

My truffles arrived covered with a white layer – what should I do?

Sometimes truffles develop a thin white layer during transport. This is a natural mold that some fresh foods develop. It is also a sign that the truffle is natural and healthy.

Simply clean the truffle with a truffle brush or a clean sponge (a toothbrush also works) with a little water. Then wipe it with a clean cloth or paper towel. After that, it’s ready to be served.

Why doesn’t fresh truffle have the same strong intensity as oil or truffle paste?

Truffle products (oils, creams, pastes) often contain added aromas that enhance smell and taste. A fresh truffle is natural and subtle.

Its richness lies in refinement, not in intensity.

If you prefer a more intense truffle aroma and taste, you can add some of the above-mentioned products or simply use a larger amount of fresh truffle.
