Italian porcini, picked and frozen at peak season. Earthy, dense, intensely savoury. Sweat in butter for risotto, ragu or pasta.

Porcini, cepes, Steinpilze: the same mushroom, the king of the European woodland. Foraged from forest floors between Tuscany and the Périgord, picked young, cleaned and frozen at source so the flesh stays firm and the flavour stays concentrated. The taste is unmistakable: deep, savoury, faintly nutty, with the smell of damp leaves and warm bark. A handful is enough to anchor a whole dish. Stir into a risotto ai funghi porcini in the last few minutes of cooking. Build a simple pasta sauce with butter, garlic and a splash of cream. Finish a beef stew, fold through tagliatelle, lift a mushroom velouté, or pile onto bruschetta with parsley and a slick of good oil. 1kg frozen bag. Cook from frozen, no defrosting required.
