Tomato Sauce with Porcini Mushrooms – Parma Apennines
Tomato Sauce with Porcini Mushrooms from the Parma Apennines
Our Tomato Sauce with Porcini Mushrooms originates in the Parma Apennines, in the province of Parma.
La Bottega del Fungo has its registered office and sales point in Borgo Val di Taro (PR), a municipality historically linked to porcini mushroom culture.
The artisanal processing takes place in our laboratory located in the municipality of Tornolo (PR), also in the Parma Apennines area.
This connection to the territory is not just geographical, but cultural: the porcini mushroom has always been a gastronomic symbol of the area.
How we prepare porcini mushroom sauce
In the Tornolo laboratory, we prepare the sauce following a simple and traditional recipe:
- slowly sautéed golden onions
- addition of selected dried porcini mushrooms
- use of filtered porcini water to enhance their aroma
- addition of tomato pulp
- slow cooking
- hot potting and pasteurization
Every step is carried out with artisanal care, to maintain the balance between tomato and porcini.
A product of the Parma Apennines
Operating between Borgo Val di Taro and Tornolo means working in a mountainous area where porcini mushrooms are an integral part of local tradition.
Our porcini mushroom sauce is not just a ready-made condiment, but the expression of artisanal processing rooted in the territory.
