What to Expect & Care Tips
As a natural, wild-harvested product, Porcini mushrooms have unique characteristics. We want to ensure you have the best experience with these delicate fungi:
Natural Delicacy: Porcini are inherently fragile. It’s normal for some caps and stems to separate during transit. This does not impact their superior flavor or quality.
Appearance Upon Arrival: You may notice the protective pad in your package has changed color (green, white, yellow, or brownish). This is a natural reaction and does not mean the mushrooms are spoiled. It’s also normal for them to feel slightly moist.
Preparation for Purity: For your convenience and peace of mind, we carefully slice each Porcini in half to inspect for pests. Just like an apple, the cut surfaces may change color over time. Simply shave off the outer layer before cooking to reveal their fresh, beautiful interior.
Wild Harvest Note: As a product of the wild, it’s rare but possible to find small signs of nature within. If you do, simply slice the mushroom and soak it in salt water for about 10 minutes. Drain and gently pat dry to prepare them for your culinary creations.
