The New York Times on truffles in Istria

Leading US media The New York Times writes about Istrian white truffle as being “long overshadowed in fame but not quality by the truffle mecca of Alba in the Piedmont region of Italy and in the Perigord area in Provance region of France. 

In article entitled Truffles in Paradise. (And It’s Not Italy), travel writer Joji Sakurai describes excitement during truffle hunt and praises wine and gourmet experience in Motovun Forest area. The writer emphasizes that truffles are considered an expensive delicacy, but not in Istria, where truffles remain a “well-kept secret.” 

”It may seem surprising that a delicacy associated with Italy and France is found in Croatia’s dense oak forests, but truffles have been hunted here for centuries. Istrian truffles have maintained a low profile largely because those from Alba enjoy such cachet”,  and praises wine and gourmet experience in Motovun Forest area 

This travel piece invites tourists to enjoy Istrian rolling landscapes that evoke Tuscany; its beaches which are among the Mediterranean’s most beautiful and see cliffs dotted with fairy-tale villages, concluding that “a truffle meal won’t burn a hole through your wallet”, an important precondition for the perfect gourmet vacation.
