Istria is a beautiful region in Croatia, equally abundant in untouched natural beauties and cultural heritage, certainly one of the fascinating Mediterranean areas. Istria is proof that nature presents us with premium fruits if we safeguard the treasures entrusted to us for use.
You can discover for yourself how the search for truffles is fun, but at the same time demanding work, and why truffles reach such a high price.
