Croatian truffle fair

November 09, 2006

The truffle fair, initiated by restauranteur Giancarlo Zigante who is a native of Livade, also showcases other Istrian delicacies, like home-made brandy, honey, olive-oil and cheese, but the highlight is the King Truffle contest. This year's winner weighed around 0.8 kilos. Zigante's own find from a few years ago, a 1.3kg truffle the size of a child's head, still holds the top spot in the Guinness Book of World Records.
