Istria is home to some of Europe's most prized truffle varieties.

White Truffles

Known for its intense aroma and exceptional rarity, the white truffle is considered one of the most valuable ingredients in fine dining. Its distinctive fragrance pairs beautifully with pasta, risotto, eggs, and delicate sauces.

Black Truffles

Black truffles offer a rich earthy flavour and remarkable versatility in the kitchen. Depending on the season, different varieties are available, each with its own unique characteristics.

Popular in pasta dishes, meat preparations, sauces, and gourmet recipes, black truffles provide a deep and refined flavour profile.

Carefully Selected and Delivered Fresh

Freshness is essential when it comes to truffles.

Our truffles are selected individually, cleaned with care, and prepared for shipment as quickly as possible after harvesting. This process helps preserve their natural aroma and quality from the forests of Istria to your table.

How to Use Fresh Truffles

Fresh truffles are best enjoyed when shaved thinly over warm dishes just before serving.

Their natural aroma is enhanced by simple ingredients that allow the truffle to remain the star of the dish.

Why Choose Istrian Truffles?

The unique climate, rich soil, and centuries-old truffle hunting tradition make Istria one of the most respected truffle regions in the world.
