Italian Porcini Mushrooms (Cepes)

Considered by many as the finest-tasting and most versatile of mushrooms, Porcinis (boletus edulis) are also referred to as cepes. They are easily recognized for their rounded, plump caps (which some call hamburger buns), brown and bulbous, and very pretty. Porcini are intensely aromatic, with a fine yet rich taste that is infused into dishes. It especially pairs well with soups, sauces, polentas and pastas (bland ingredients absorf the aromas and flavors of mushrooms best). Preserved in fine oil, these cepes retain their distinctive fleshiness and texture, and are simple to use: open, drain and cook. Keep the oil for other culinary uses. Refrigerate after opening. Imported from Italy, made by Perla. CHECK BACK LATER!
