was open only to a few individuals, our ancestors, who were allowed to hunt for truffles. When Austro-Hungarian Empire took rule
over this area, there was only one final destination for the Istrian truffle – the Royal Palace in Vienna.

On the Vienna Congress in 1815, truffles were officially on the menu for the fist time.
