PORCINI MUSHROOM SAVORY CREAM

The porcino is an aromatic and plump mushroom, also called by the ancient Romans Suillus because of its chubby pork like shape; porcino is the Italian translation from Latin. It is a symbiotic and gregarious mushroom, as it grows in crops. This cream has the very intense distinctive sweet earthly scent of the Porcini and is ideal as a spread for a wide range of canapés with other ingredients and also superb with roast meats, vegetables or as a seasoning for meat based sauce pasta or risotto.

Curiosity

An ancient Greek legend tells the story of Perseus, that was tired and thirsty after a long journey, so he stopped and drank water from a mushroom cap; he then decided to found a new capital city there and called it Mycenae (Mykes is mushroom in ancient Greek), thus originating one of the most important civilizations of the past.
