PORCINI POWDER (OG)

Description:

Porcini (pore-CHEE-nee) mushrooms are one of the most popular mushrooms throughout Europe and the United States. This king of the culinary world of edible mushrooms is unequaled in taste, texture and versatility.  Porcini mushrooms are available from many origins including Europe, China, the United States, Chile, South Africa and Russia.  Porcini in Italian means little piglets, a name given to them because of their fat stems.  Found under conifers or deciduous trees, Porcini are also known as Cepe or Bolete mushrooms.  The cap of this mushroom is mostly reddish-brown, fading to white in areas near the margin; the color continues to darken as it matures. The stalk is thick and rather large in comparison to the cap.  The meat-like texture of the Porcini and its earthy and somewhat nutty flavor combined with a woodsy aroma lends itself to countless dishes.  Dried Porcini mushrooms have a concentrated flavor that is excellent in soup, sauces, stew and risotto.  Delectable in Italian cuisine, Porcini can be substituted in any recipe calling for mushrooms.  Porcini Powder is 100% pure with an intense, bold flavor.

Suggested Use:

Sprinkle Porcini powder anywhere you want the intense flavor of mushrooms.  Season stir-fry, stews, soups, sauces, rice and vegetables with this savory powder.  Rub Porcini powder on meat or poultry before cooking, also great on fresh pasta and in casseroles.
