History of Truffle Hunting in Istria
What published archival and institutional sources report about the beginnings of truffle hunting in Istria.
02Explanation
The 1929 find in Pazinski Novaki and the founding of a company in Livade in 1933 are different events. Archival research connects them with the beginnings of organized truffle hunting. These reports help explain the trade’s development; they do not prove that nobody in Istria knew truffles earlier.
For each date, check who reports it and which event it describes. Archival research and institutional chronicles are presented together so their accounts can be compared.
