Description
Istrian truffles and liquors. Nestled in the heart of Europe is a land of rolling hills, sun dappled forests and unspoiled Mediterranean coastlines - a land so breathtaking that the Romans called it Terra Magica.
Slovenia’s Istrian peninsula is like no other place on earth, and not just because of its beauty. The rich and uniquely balanced soil provides the perfect conditions to grow our country’s greatest treasures – Istrian black and white truffles.
It was while searching for these gems that three friends with over 30 years of harvesting expertise realised that nature had given us a special gift. Truffles are famously rare, but only the exceptional soil composition of Istria can produce prizes of such exquisite character.
It was the desire to share the regions truffles with culinary aficionados around the world, and to protect Istria’s heritage, that gave birth to our company GoldIstra tartufi.
Our passion for sustainability drives us to support only small local suppliers, ensuring that our delicate ecosystem is preserved for generations to come.
Taking the utmost care, we continue to harvest the world’s highest quality truffles in the traditional way using specially trained dogs. We then prepare the harvest with love using centuries-old techniques.
We remain connected to our land and dedicated to caring for nature and our suppliers while offering an exceptional range of sauces, oils and creams.
Once you’ve experienced the superior taste and aroma of our truffles we’re confident you’ll agree that they are truly remarkable. We look forward to sharing them with you.

ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE, OR AS WE WOULD LIKE TO SAY, OUR SHINY BRIGHT WHITE TRUFFLES! Now is the season of the white truffle (from September till December). The white truffle has an irregular shape, its size is generally large, at around 200-400 grams. The Latin name is Tuber Magnatum, but we like to call them tycoons :). As always you know that you can find them at www.goldistra.eu #Tartufi #WhiteTruffle #Truffles #Truffle #PureExperience #Experience #Exciting #Specialties #food #tasty #yum #instafood #instagood #fresh #delicious #Dekani #gold #Istra #cook #kitchen #chef #foodie #foodster #delish

GIVE YOUR LIFE A BEAUTIFUL AROMA. COOK WITH OUR WHITE TRUFFLES. ;) Today we’re cooking WHITE TRUFFLE “BLENDER HOLLANDAISE”. Hollandaise is a rich hot emulsion sauce that’s delicious on eggs, lean fish, and steaks. Adding the earthy, complex flavor and aroma of fresh white truffles takes it to the very height of culinary decadence. This emulsified butter sauce isn’t technically a true hollandaise in terms of technique, but the end result’s pretty similar and it’s a heck of a lot faster and easier. Ingredients: 2 Egg Yolks 1 tbsp Champagne Vinegar 12 tbsp of Melted Unsalted Butter, hot Pinch of Kosher Salt 1/3oz Fresh White Truffles (www.goldistra.eu) Directions: 1. Combine the egg yolks, vinegar and salt in a blender. 2. Blend the mixture on high briefly. 3. Skim the white whey off the top of the melted butter with a spoon. 4. Turn the blender back on, still set to high, and slowly drizzle in the melted butter until the hollandaise reaches the thickness you prefer (you may not need all of it). 5. Move the finished hollandaise to a bowl and use a microplane grater to grate in the white truffle. Stir to combine. 6. Use the finished hollandaise to sauce your dish. #Tartufi #WhiteTruffle #Truffles #Truffle #PureExperience #Experience #Exciting #Specialties #food #tasty #yum #instafood #instagood #fresh #delicious #Dekani #gold #Istra #cook #kitchen #chef #foodie #foodster #delish

YOU WANT TO BUY TRUFFLES? WE ARE HERE FOR YOU TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT ONES. :) First of all, you need to know the seasons in which truffle grow. For example now is the season of the white truffle which you can find it fresh in Gold Istra. Also people have different tastes, so that means some of you like truffles with mild aroma, some with strong. In general, the aroma and flavor of black truffles (and black truffle products) tend to be less heat sensitive, making them the preferred choice for lightly cooked applications. White truffles (and white truffle products) are more intense, complex, and are usually added to cooked food at the very last second.

THE BEST WAY TO SERVE WHITE TRUFFLES IS TO SHAVE VERY THIN SLICES DIRECTLY OVER YOUR PLATE. Using a truffle slicer is easy, simply turn the dial to your approximate desired thickness, and draw the truffle across the blade. Check the shaving and adjust the dial again until you get exactly the thickness you’re looking for. Once you’ve found the right setting, go crazy shaving your fresh truffles over pasta, risotto (truffle risotto recipe), polenta, egg dishes and even poultry & meats.

DEAR SUNDAY, MAKE OUR MONDAY NICER WITH THIS WHITE TRUFFLE LOBSTER ROLL RECIPE. :) 8 lobster rolls are enough for you and your 5 members of your family. Make mayo by whisking the yolk and mustard together, then add the oil in a slow, steady stream while whisking steadily. The oil should be incorporated into the mixture gradually to create a strong emulsification. Add the truffle oil and plenty of salt and lemon juice to taste. Mayo can be done ahead of time and refrigerated for up to one week until use. To make the lobster roll filling, drain the lobster meat in a colander to make sure it is relatively dry. In a large mixing bowl, combine the lobster meat, celery, 2 T melted butter and mayo, then season with salt and pepper. Brush the remaining butter onto the insides, tops and exterior of the buns and toast in a toaster oven or warm in an oven at 350 F for 5 minutes. Scoop the lobster filling into the bun, serve with chips, pickle spears, a lemon wedge and/or beer. www.goldistra.eu Photo & Recipe courtesy of Pince and Pints #Tartufi #WhiteTruffle #Truffles #Truffle #PureExperience #Experience #Exciting #Specialties #food #tasty #yum #instafood #instagood #fresh #delicious #Dekani #gold #Istra #cook #kitchen #chef #foodie #foodster #delish

ISTRA IS A PERFECT PLACE WHERE YOU CAN FIND THE GREAT WHITE TRUFFLE, DO YO KNOW WHY? This is a result of a complex symbiotic relationship between the soil, the fungus, the tree and the climate that all happens underground out of sight. Truffles prefer free-draining well aerated ground with high pH soils (7.5 to 8.0). Good natural drainage is important as truffles don’t like sitting in clay or wet soils. Sites need to be relatively free from sources of potentially competing fungi. Trees need to be well infected with the correct strain of truffle.

CAN YOU GUESS WHY COOKING WITH WHITE TRUFFLES IS THE PERFECT EXPERIENCE!? Because they are so aromatic and pungent, but their aroma tends to fade relatively quickly, White Truffles (especially the winter variety) should NEVER be cooked. Keep it simple: Clean, slice or shave over some cooked risotto or pasta and you’re done. They should never be mixed with any ingredient high in acidity, which would cause the flavor of the truffle to subside. Let the truffle work its magic, and always add towards the end of the preparation.
