Dried porcini mushrooms are pantry powerhouses that have a stronger, more pronounced flavor than their fresh counterparts. Dehydrating not only preserves porcinis, but it also concentrates and intensifies their characteristic nutty and savory qualities. Oliveri harvests these wild porcini mushrooms from the Piedmont region of northern Italy. Their broad tan caps remain firm and intact—as opposed to shriveled and crumbly—resulting in a more robust mushroom flavor.
