Funghi Porcini Secchi are dried porcini mushrooms offered by La Primizia di Adriana Giulianotti, a local food shop in Borgo Val di Taro, in the Italian province of Parma.
Drying preserves the mushrooms for use beyond their season while retaining their characteristic porcini aroma.
Dried porcini give dishes a pronounced mushroom aroma and a rich, umami flavour. Before cooking, they should be soaked in water until softened, then cooked thoroughly. They are well suited to risotto, pasta sauces, soups, and meat dishes, while smaller pieces can be incorporated into fillings and sauces.
