Brilliant experience. Taste testing different truffle products with very kind owner and staff members. Interior and whole experience feels like a luxurious restaurant. Anyone passing by on the way to Zagreb or Plitvice should visit and experience it for themselves.

OUR HERITAGE

The Zigante Story

From a record truffle to Istria's leading truffle house.

Giancarlo Zigante holding a replica of the 1.31 kg world-record white truffle found in 1999

The truffle that put Istria on the map

On 2 November 1999, founder Giancarlo Zigante unearthed a white truffle weighing 1.31 kg in the Motovun forest, recognized by Guinness World Records as the largest white truffle ever found at the time.

Instead of selling it, he shared it with his community.

From there, he built Zigante Tartufi into Istria’s leading truffle house, with shops across Istria, a restaurant in Livade, and exports worldwide.
