The town of Livade and Motovun Forest are renowned for their magnificent environment and pristine nature. However, their biggest secret and blessing are truffles - a unique delicacy that is celebrated all over the world. Let's go hunting today led by the professional truffle hunters from the Zigante family - a surname that is a synonym for quality and tradition in culinary circles. We're all set to go on yet another educational and entertaining walk - all that is missing is you!
