Keep in a clean, cool and dry place. Another prestigious food in international gourmet cooking, Urbani's porcini mushrooms are still dried in the old traditional italian way. Packed in an elegant bag with a clear window, you can first appreciate the size and quality of these mushrooms and later appreciate their unique flavor in cooking. The mushrooms should be rinsed and cleaned of any dirt clinging to them. To bring out the aroma of the porcini mushrooms, one need only soak them in a mixture of milk and warm water. Excellent for risotto or pan-fried fillets, they are best if used in the same recipe with prestigious white Alba truffle, an exceptional combination. | | | Features: | |

So worth itJun 25, 2010
By C. G. King
While these are insanely expensive, they are wonderful and keep a long time in this dried form. I was lucky enough to find them on sale so got several bags and they've kept beautifully. This is a good-sized bag and because of the robust flavor of the porcini mushroom, a little goes a long way, so a single bag lasts quite a while. Many soups seem to be better with a bit of this added and a mushroom soup is to die for.
The mushrooms reconstitute really well and are in big enough pieces to make a hearty mushroom accompaniment for poultry or steak. They can be chopped into smaller pieces, of course, for other applications. The richly infused reconstituting water offers a good base for a sauce. I don't usually even bother to strain the broth since the product is quite clean.
I've tried other dried porcini in the past and have not been impressed, which is what led me to go with this brand even at its higher cost. I'm so pleased, I'll be sticking with it. Highly recommended.
Very high qualityMar 03, 2011

I always keep Porcinis around, and have previously purchased them in bulk from high-end grocers like Whole Foods. When I ran out this time, I decided to order them these from Amazon. They are easily the highest quality dried Porcinis I've ever found. Large pieces, delicious flavor, not overly dry. Would definitely order again.
