Overview

Join a small group of enthusiasts and discover the mysterious world of the Istrian truffle with a truffle hunter and a skilled dog. Learn the secrets of truffles, including what they are, where they are found, and the differences between them, how to pick them, how to raise a truffle dog, and the conditions for harvesting truffles. Discover why searching for truffles with pigs is prohibited in some countries, about the prices, where to buy them, and how to keep them fresh. Get answers questions you may have.
