This is a lovely little truffle shop! The shop keeper was lovely and very helpful. I did indeed buy some truffles from the truffle capital of the world here. I tried an array of truffle spreads before I made my final decision. She threw in some truffle chips and a cookbook after I purchased. 10/10 experience!Sydney C.

The Zigante Story
From a record truffle to Istria's leading truffle house.
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.
