Dried porcini mushrooms

Dried porcini mushrooms are one of the most appreciated ways to preserve porcini, as drying helps maintain their aroma and intensity over time. On this page, you will find dried porcini mushrooms in different formats and qualities, carefully selected and processed in our workshop.

The drying process is carried out without added preservatives or artificial flavourings, in order to preserve the natural characteristics of the mushroom and obtain a clean, reliable product. Once rehydrated, dried porcini mushrooms can be used in risottos, pasta dishes, sauces and many traditional recipes.

To help you choose, we have organised our dried porcini mushrooms into different options.

How long should dried porcini mushrooms be soaked?

Dried porcini mushrooms should be soaked for about 15–20 minutes in lukewarm water. During soaking, it is advisable to move them gently by hand to help remove any natural residues that may be present on the product.

Generally, a first quick soak is carried out and the water is discarded. The porcini mushrooms are then briefly soaked again in clean water: this second soaking water, carefully filtered, can be used when preparing sauces or risottos, as it is very aromatic.

How should dried porcini mushrooms be used in cooking?

After soaking, dried porcini mushrooms can be used in many preparations. They are suitable for risottos, pasta sauces, polenta, meat dishes and traditional recipes.

Thanks to their intense aroma, only small quantities are needed to add fragrance and character to dishes.

The product must be consumed after cooking, as indicated on the label.

Why do dried porcini mushrooms have such an intense aroma?

During drying, porcini mushrooms lose much of the water naturally present in the fresh mushroom. This process concentrates their aromas and flavours, making dried porcini mushrooms particularly aromatic.

This is why they are so appreciated in cooking: even a small quantity can enrich sauces, risottos, pasta dishes and traditional preparations.

What is the difference between Extra, Speciale and Briciolone dried porcini mushrooms?

Extra dried porcini mushrooms generally have lighter, whole and more regular slices. They are ideal for those looking for a carefully presented product.

Speciale dried porcini mushrooms have a more intense and distinctive aroma, with less uniform but very aromatic slices. They are suitable for sauces, risottos, polenta and richer-tasting recipes.

Briciolone comes from the same type of processing as the Speciale quality, but is made up of smaller pieces. It costs less because it does not have whole slices, while still retaining a good aroma and being very practical for everyday cooking.
