Istrian Truffles

ABOUT US

Discover the World of Truffles in Istria

FAMILY TRADITION

Our Bartolić family story begins in the 1950s, when our grandfather, purely as a hobby, started truffle hunting in the Istrian forests. At that time, truffles were not as valued as they are today, and their worth was nowhere near what it is now. Over time, the tradition of finding truffles became an important part of our family heritage, passed down from generation to generation. Our father continued this tradition, and the son brought the family business into a new era, adhering to traditional methods with a special emphasis on preserving authenticity.
