Gourmet Living Dried Porcini Mushrooms | 50g of Premium Grade Sliced Funghi Porcini Secchi

Good, though not very strong, mushroom flavor at a very good price compared to the tiny, dried-out packets available at the supermarket. I transferred them from the cello bag to a tight-lidded jar and use them frequently in soups, stews and sauces. Nice addition to the pantry.

A little stringy when boiled

Just the way it was expected- high quality dried mushrooms with all their flavor locked in. I recommend.

great flavorful porcini mushrooms--big pieces, not the crumbles you get at the grocery store

Great porcini mushrooms. Perfect taste. Bit expensive.

Excellent

Just in time for my miso ramen beef bowl broth. I'm slowly getting more involved in cooking over fast food since the pandemic started. I took fatty pot roast leavings and some T-Bone bones from some eaten steaks, and boiled them for 14 hours at a low simmer. I then let cool in the fridge, skimmed off the saturated fat, set to simmer again, added white miso, veggie stock cubes, beef soup powdered stock, chopped celery, carrots, yellow, onions, and chopped up about a third of these mushrooms. After simmering for about an hour I sampled the taste, what a great flavor, and I could definitely distinguish the mushrooms in the broth. I'm not up to making my own noodles yet, but soon, so I used some packaged ones. Made one of the ramen better bowls I had in a while. I added a hard boiled egg, and some of the lean beef that had the fat cooked out of it. Best bowl of ramen in a long time.I'd love to use these more, but the expense is a bit much. I think I'll use the remainder to make something like the risotto recipe listed on the pack the mushrooms came in. Should be a really good flavor. I don't recommend these for everyday consumption, but since they have a long storage time in their dried form, I can see stocking some for special occasions. A mild recommend for special dinners and dishes.

The bag included a wide variety of mushroom piece sizes and included some very large pieces. The pieces also some stringy stem pieces. The mushrooms are a desirable color. There were a moderate amount of crumbled mushrooms which could indicate a freshness issue. The bottom of the bag was folded with a white tape-like cover which allowed crumbs to escape when gently shaken, so this was not well sealed. From this leaky portion of the bag came the distinct earthy scent of the mushrooms.I followed the instructions for rehydration and added the mushrooms to a cheese risotto. I saved the broth and used it as a dip. Both dishes tasted very good and were elevated by the distinct taste of the mushrooms.Based on the expiration date, these mushrooms should have been very fresh. However, I think the leaky bag may have let a little of the flavor escape.I have transferred them to a vacuum bag for future storage. Not many are needed to add flavor a dish so I look forward to using them in many future meals.

Diese getrockneten Steinpilze sind richtig große Stücke, sie duften sehr gut und geben in Sosse ein tolles Aroma ab.Kann ich voll und ganz empfehlen.

These are excellent dried funghi porcini. They are nice, evenly sliced, large pieces and no nasty worm/grit etc debris came off them when soaked. They are described as “premium” quality and they certainly are. I will definitely buy them again.

I am over the moon with this product and have ordered Another one as well . I queried something and was given the explanation and am 150% satisfied.Thank you for your professionalism,Happy Xmas Holidays,aira239

These are a very superior product.The dried mushrooms are of a good size and have an excellent flavour so you need less than with other brands I have tried. They are excellent in stews, casseroles and, especially, risotto.While pricier than my usual purchase, the size, quality and flavour merit a premium.Recommended.

I ordered these as a review product as I love porcini mushrooms and find the dried ones much more convenient than the fresh ones as I hate it when u just fancy a stroganoff and u go to the fridge and the mushrooms have gone all slimy, yuk! In my opinion these are tastier than my usual go to brand but I d find it really hard to justify the price on a regular basis though for a special meal or just a well earned treat these are well worth trying.
