CROATIA is home of the world’s biggest #truffle And yes, it’s official. The record-holding truffle was discovered by Giancarlo Zigante, in 1999…or, more accurately, by his dog, Diana. The nearly-football-sized truffle weighed in at 1.31 kg (2 lbs, 8 oz), and was valued at about $5,000 at the time. Quite a hefty sum for what is essentially a massive globule of mold, but hey, truffles are pretty great. Since then, heavier truffles have been discovered, and have sold for vastly greater sums of money (one sold in 2007 for $330,000), due to inflation and higher demand, but the Croatian truffle still holds the title of world’s largest.
