Quality and traceability
Documented from the forest to your invoice
The quality of a wild truffle is decided in the first hours after it leaves the ground. That is why we sort on the day of harvest, keep the cold chain unbroken and document every lot.
Sorted the day it is found
Hand-brushed, soil-free, graded by size and quality on the day of harvest. Every lot carries harvest date, harvest area and grade.
An unbroken cold chain
2–4 °C from the collection point to dispatch, with a temperature log for every lot. No dry ice, no freezing, no washing.
Laboratory report per lot
Radioactivity (Cs-137) report issued in Bosnia and Herzegovina for every lot, meeting EU and Japanese limits; species declared; phytosanitary certificate where the destination requires it.
Origin you can trace
Harvest permits, registered pickers and a harvest diary per lot. Certificate of origin with every shipment; EUR.1 for EU customers.
From forest to kitchen
Five steps, two to four days
Harvest with trained dogs
Local pickers with dogs in the forests of Semberija, Posavina, Srem and Fruška gora. Holes are refilled; the truffle bed keeps producing.
