Porcini are wild and meaty mushrooms with a rich taste and woodsy flavour. Dried Porcini mushrooms from Italy are compact and firm with an intense aroma. All elements that make porcini excellent ingredients in the kitchen. Another key feature is versatility. You can use these mushrooms in many different recipes, from appetizers to side dishes. You can combine them with meat, fish, vegetables, pasta and never get tired. An irreplaceable first course on Italian tables, Risotto with Porcini mushrooms is a great classic and if you fancy something new, try adding a sausage. If you love more delicate flavours, however, we advise you to focus on ingredients such as pumpkin or saffron. Risotto can also be an interesting way to take advantage of the sautéed porcini mushrooms left over from the day before.
