Not many people know that Hungary is famous for its truffles, which are exported to 27 countries around the world. We hunt for the "black treasures" only when accompanied by the country's chief expert, the author of books about truffles, and assisted by his smartest labrador retrievers.

In the summer and autumn, from June to December, the "regular" black truffle can be found in the Hungarian forests. From October to December, a rare white truffle can be spotted. Many people believe it only grows in Italy, but in fact, Hungary is the northernmost country where this species grows. Hungary also has its unique species: sweet white truffles, which are used in desserts.
