No need to thaw. Sauté directly in a hot pan with olive oil, garlic, and parsley or thyme. Deglaze with white wine and finish with salt and pepper. Ideal in risotto, tagliatelle, on bruschetta, or with grilled meats. Cook uncovered to let moisture evaporate and preserve texture.

Because it reflects Italy’s biodiversity and culinary excellence—featuring wild, seasonal mushrooms harvested sustainably and preserved naturally. Brands like Del Re and those sold at Esselunga meet high standards for flavor integrity, variety, and clean processing recognized by our jury.
