Truffle Hunting Adventures in Zagreb

What are truffles

They are a type of fungi that grow underground near the roots of certain trees, such as oak and hazelnut trees. They are highly prized in culinary circles for their unique and intense flavour, often described as earthy, musky, and sometimes garlicky. Zagreb is a habitat for some of the highest-quality black truffles. They are difficult to find and are in high demand. The good news is that the woods around Zagreb are ideal spots to hunt for truffles.

Plan a private truffle hunt
