Wild Dried Porcini - Boletus Edulis & Aereus Mushrooms 

Description:

First quality sliced and air-dried Porcini mix - Boletus edulis and Boletus aereus (also called cep, porcino) mushrooms. The fungus grows in deciduous and coniferous forests and tree plantations. 
Prized as an ingredient in various foods, Boletus edulis is an edible mushroom held in high regard in many cuisines, and is commonly prepared and eaten in soups, pasta, meat, risotto and many other meals. The mushroom is low in fat and digestible carbohydrates, and high in protein, vitamins, minerals and dietary fibre. 
After drying its flavour intensifies, it is easily reconstituted, and its resulting texture is pleasant. The flavour has been described as nutty and slightly meaty, with a smooth, creamy texture, and a distinctive aroma reminiscent of sourdough.
