Description

This dried product is made from all beautiful "number one" porcini, and is top quality. Porcini mushrooms are cherished by many cultures, and are considered to be a choice edible among chefs due to their robust flavor and versatility. The nutty, earthy flavor combined with the creamy, meaty texture works well in many different preparations. Porcini mushrooms are commonly used in soups, pastas, and risottos. They also pair very well with proteins. Porcini have a very short shelf life, and when fresh, should be firm. Young porcini, known as �number ones,� are very firm, and the fruiting body underneath the cap is white. Porcini are considered to be one of the safest mushrooms to pick because they are easily identified; the brown cap and off white stem are easily recognizable. Unfortunately, the fresh porcini season is short, usually lasting only a month or two. Luckily, dried porcini, porcini powder, and other porcini seasonings are always available and work as a great substitute.
