You'll find out which mushrooms need to be used right away and which ones will last up to a week or more. These mushrooms are organically grown on hardwood oak in climate controlled environments. These mushrooms are no longer wild but far from tame.
Mushrooms are gaining in popularity because they offer a wide range of colors and textures while sharing a common ability to enhance the flavor of any dish. This savory, flavor-boosting quality is referred to by the Japanese term umami, which translates roughly as "deliciousness." Specialty mushrooms are particularly welcome in vegetarian dishes because they impart deeper flavor notes and varieties like the Trumpet Royale provide a firm, meaty texture. Mushrooms are also very good for you, providing vitamins B and D and hard to find micro-nutrients like selenium. Mushrooms are also known to help support a healthy immune system.
If you are passionate about great truffle oil, we know that you will love a bottle of Sulpizio Italian Truffle Oil. Like Herbal Advantage, Sulpizio Tartufi is a small company dedicated to quality. Both their Black Summer Truffle Oil and White Truffle Oil are made with an extra virgin olive oil base. Remember, truffle oil is a condiment, not a cooking oil. A few drops added to a dish just before serving are enough to provide the instantly recognizable aroma of truffle. Try it with pasta, soups or mashed potatoes.
