About this product
Porcini is a revered wild mushroom with a nutty aroma and dense, meaty texture that chefs covet. It fruits in pine and mixed forests from August into late autumn, partnering symbiotically with tree roots. Even large specimens stay succulent when handled correctly.
Benefits and features
- Rich in B vitamins, especially riboflavin and niacin
- Provides selenium, potassium, and zinc for essential metabolism
- High in fiber and low in fat while contributing plant-based protein
- Deep umami elevates game, pasta, and risotto dishes
Usage tips
- Slice and saute in olive oil, finishing with garlic and herbs
- Dry into chips or powder to season soups and sauces
- Stir into risotto, pasta, and polenta for luxurious texture
- Marinate and grill as a side or antipasto
Harvesting and availability
Porcini emerge after warm rains from August through October. Cut carefully with a knife and cover the mycelium with moss. Check for worms or insects and leave small specimens to mature.
Storage and handling
Fresh porcini keep refrigerated 2-3 days in an uncovered container. Drying is the best long-term preservation; dried powder stays potent 12 months in an airtight jar. Freeze after light sauteing to preserve texture.
