About Porcini Powder 125g

We source our dried mushrooms from specialist producers who start with the finest fresh mushrooms before drying. In particular, the quality of the fresh mushroom determines everything – drying concentrates the flavour, so poor-quality fresh mushrooms produce poor-quality dried ones. As a result, we select every variety for provenance and flavour before processing. Furthermore, properly dried mushrooms are one of the great pantry ingredients. They keep for months and deliver an intensity of flavour that transforms stocks, sauces and braises. However, the most important step is rehydration – always use the soaking liquid as it carries most of the flavour. Additionally, a small quantity of dried mushrooms goes a very long way. A few grams can transform a dish that a handful of fresh mushrooms would barely touch. That is why Porcini Powder 125g from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Porcini Powder 125g From Us

Cooking with dried mushrooms opens up a world of concentrated flavour. In contrast to fresh mushrooms, dried varieties deliver an intensity that transforms stocks, sauces and braises completely. As a result, they are one of the most useful pantry ingredients available. Furthermore, rehydration is the most important step – we soak in warm water for 20 to 30 minutes. However, the soaking liquid is as valuable as the mushrooms themselves. In particular, always strain and use it in the dish being made. Moreover, a small amount of dried mushroom adds depth to any preparation containing fresh mushrooms – the two work outstandingly together. Additionally, dried mushrooms blend beautifully into powders, sauces and stocks where their concentrated flavour provides remarkable depth. That is why we stock only the highest quality dried varieties.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light. Dried mushrooms keep for up to 12 months when stored properly. Furthermore, once opened, keep in an airtight container for best results.
