The Truffle Shop at Goosefayre

Zigante & The Giant

Zigante Tartufi is one of our trusted partners, sharing the same commitment to quality truffles and careful product preparation.

The Record Truffle

In 1999, in Livade, Istria, Giancarlo Zigante and his truffle-hunting dog unearthed a record giant white truffle weighing 1,310 grams. The find was registered in the Guinness Book of Records and helped establish Istria as a world centre of truffles.

Ideal Growing Region

The fertile valley of the River Mirna and the protected Motovun Forest offer an exceptional microclimate and unpolluted environment. Their rich soils create ideal conditions for truffles to develop full aroma and character.

Crafted With Care

After harvesting, fresh truffles are processed in a modern facility using advanced methods and deep expertise. This approach protects the qualities of selected truffles and delivers premium products throughout the year.

At The Truffle Shop, we are proud to collaborate with Zigante and offer their products alongside our own range.
