Mushrooms, Dried, Porcini

Porcini Mushrooms: (Boletus Edulis) are a very popular mushroom throughout Europe and the United States. The flavor of a Porcini spreads quickly to the taste buds; it is a strong flavor with subtle undertones. The flavor can be almost addicting. Dried Porcini are very economical as the flavor is much more concentrated than the fresh variety. Porcini is graded by size, color, aroma, and variety. Our Porcini Super Grade are the largest, lightest in color and truest in aroma we have found. Suggested Uses: Porcini are delicious in soups, sauces, stuffings and stews. Dried Porcini can be substituted for any mushroom in any recipe; typically a smaller amount of dried Porcini can be used in recipes than other mushrooms because of the intense flavor of the Porcini.
