Mushroom in Istria, Croatia

chanterelle

In the Istrian hills, it is easy to find mushroom, at the moment there is fresh chanterelle in the market. Usually there should be a lot of fresh boletus too, but this year has been dry, so only see dried boletus for sale.

It is possible to find truffle too, most of them sent to France or Italy, now it is more popular to find truffle used locally as there are more tourists more local interest.

This year tasted this truffle cheese, bits and slices of truffle mixed into cow cheese, actually quite a good way to keep, taste and use the flavor, either eat on its own, melted on toast or grated on pasta.
