Mirna

Istria on the Plate: Between Truffles, Traditions, and Warm Hospitality

"The most renowned place for white truffle hunting lies along the Mirna River basin, just outside the town’s walls; in autumn and winter, Tuber Magnatum Pico grows large and abundant here thanks to a special microclimate, soil humidity, and the presence of truffle‑loving trees like poplar, willow, hazelnut, oak, and linden." - Sarah Scaparone
