Bottega del Fungo – About us
An Artisan Shop in Alta Val Taro
Bottega del Fungo is an artisan food shop founded in Borgotaro, in the heart of the Alta Val Taro, in the Parma Apennines.
Since 1970, we have been processing porcini mushrooms and producing artisan specialties such as giardiniera, sauces and jams, alongside a carefully selected range of other quality products.
In our workshop in Tornolo, we process raw ingredients using traditional artisan methods, respecting both the time required for each process and the character of the products.
Our products are available online, with shipping throughout Italy and Europe, and at our shop in Borgotaro, at Via Nazionale 66.
What we do
We process and transform fresh porcini mushrooms into dried and preserved in oil products, using artisan methods and respecting the natural characteristics of the raw ingredients.
In our workshop in Tornolo, we also make giardiniera in olive oil, ready-to-use sauces, mushroom creams, and jams, using carefully selected ingredients and simple recipes inspired by tradition.
Alongside our own production, we select other high-quality gourmet specialties with the same care, choosing them for their consistency, origin, and production methods.
Our story
Our story began in 1970, with a small family-run shop in Borgotaro, originally opened as a grocery store serving the local community.
Over the years, our passion for local products, and especially for porcini mushrooms, led us to become increasingly specialized. In 1989, the shop became a point of reference for high-quality porcini mushrooms, carefully processed with respect for the raw ingredients.
In 1996, we opened our artisan workshop and created the “Primizie della Bottega del Fungo” line, a range of specialties made with mushrooms, vegetables, sauces, and creams, following simple recipes and traditional artisan methods, just as they were made in the past.
Our values
We carefully select every ingredient and make our products using artisan methods, respecting the natural characteristics and timing of the raw ingredients. For us, great taste comes from care and experience.
Every customer is a person, not a number.
We believe in a direct relationship, built on listening, trust, and respect. Behind every order is a story, and it's important to us to follow it with care and dedication.
