CROATIA VLOG || TRUFFLE HUNTING || GROZNJAN || NOVIGRAD || ISTRIA || TOP THINGS TO DO CROATIA
We left Motovun to drive to Rovinj, but en route we stopped at picturesque Groznjan and Novigrad. In Groznjan we learned about what it takes to hunt for truffles and how much they're worth. We were disappointed by a land train in Novigrad.

15. SOUNDBITE (English) Claudio Ivesic, owner of a restaurant that serves truffles specialities:
The season already started, it started around 15th of September, I can't say that the season is good, because there was no rain during summer and that's why now we have big difficulties to find truffles.
16. Pan of the forest in valley below town of Motovun
17. SOUNDBITE (English) Claudio Ivesic, restaurateur:
Somebody says that it is a very good aphrodisiac. On the other side, it's very hard to find to find them. On the third side, probably during history, it was made as a speciality for the aristocrats' tables and that's why it is still very precious.
18. Close of truffles in a dish
19. SOUNDBITE (English) Claudio Ivesic. Restaurateur
They (truffle smugglers) already have the problem because they can't find the required kilos, let's say, of truffles to bring them over the border, to Italy, of course. I saw some of them very nervous, because they just don't have enough quantity to go back. So it will be very hard for them. But maybe this is a good thing because a lot of truffles, so this small number that we can find, we can sell it here.

During the three year period, in some 15 cases, we have found some 21 kilograms of that highly valued and rare mushroom; truffle.
25. Mid of a border policewoman checking passengers at the border crossing
26. Close of car driver getting back his documents
27. SOUNDBITE (Croatian) Elvis Kubaj, head of county border police:
Perpetrators, or persons who attempt to illegally bring that protected kind of mushrooms across the state border try to hide them different ways. In their clothes, for instance, in their pockets if there are smaller quantities, or sometimes inside car bumpers, in plastic bags below car seats, in the engine, wherever, just to manage to bring them across the border.

LEAD-IN:
It's a bad year for truffle-hunting in Croatia... Or is it?
Last summer's drought has brought about a decline of the so called diamonds of the kitchen.
But, in a twist of luck, the shortage of this highly-priced delicacy has put local prices through the roof and truffle smugglers out of a job.
STORYLINE:
Among the forests of Croatia's scenic peninsula of Istria lies a hidden treasure: truffles.
Hard to find and expensive, the smelly subterranean mushroom is a specialty of Istria, in the northern Adriatic region of Croatia, that can be found in its small restaurants and tasted with local wine.
Approximately 10 tons are found each year in the Motovun forest.
But not so much this year.
