What Others Say
Extremely pleased
My 16-oz bag of porcinis arrived a mere three days after I placed the order, which was a very pleasant surprise. They came in a large resealable, Ziploc-type bag, and after cooking with them a few times I have to say I am very pleased with the quality. For the types of dishes I make with dried porcinis, I don't think I'd ever have a need for anything more than the Extra AB grade. I will definitely be a repeat customer, considering the low price and speedy shipping!

the product was very good and about 10 times less expensive the an equal ammount at the local market would have been. I am very Happy with the product and the service.
Porcini Mushrooms - Great Quality
For Christmas this year I planned to make three glass gift containers with Arborio rice on the bottom and porcini mushrooms on top. The recipe called for 5 ounces of mushrooms. The local grocery store wanted a ridiculous price of $7.00 for one ounce, so I shopped on-line and found these. I just received my one pound bag for much less than the grocery store price, and the mushrooms are of very good quality. It only took a couple of days for the shipment to arrive. Now I can proceed with my Christmas gift idea! Thank you!!
An Italian Cook's Dream

As dried mushrooms have a very long shelf life buying them in bulk makes sense to anyone who like me loves to spontaneously prepare a good Porcini based Ragu Sauce, Polenta or Risotto but cringes at driving to the local supermarket to pay $6.99 an ounce for a skimpy cellophane bag of mushroom bits. This company shipped my order to the West Coast in what seemed to be overnight delivery. I will certainly be a repeat customer and will no doubt ... Read More
