These are 100% dried Extra-grade quality Porcini (Boletus Edulis or Cep) mushrooms picked from the Umbrian forests and prepared by our friends at Poddi Tartufi.

Just open the bag and marvel at the remarkably rich, heady aroma which exudes - this is the first sign of their quality. Then take a look at the large, whole pieces, not broken or flaky (check the photos below). They are full of flesh and destined to double their size in water.

Finally, once cooked, you have the inimitable nutty, woody taste that adds so much flavour and depth to so many dishes. You won't find better price for this quality in the UK!

Enjoy them in the magnificent Risotto ai funghi porcini or many other risottos. They are scrumptious lying on top of a thick succulent fillet of steak or chicken and very much at home in all kinds of pasta dishes, stews and sauces. Steak and Kidney, Beef or Chicken pies will never taste the same again.

Dried Porcini mushrooms are actually a good substitute to fresh as they concentrate all their flavour and aroma (a bit like sundried tomatoes). They are also full of proteins and make a great meat substitute in vegetarian dishes.

In the handy 25g bag are enough Porcini for 5 -6 good portions and they are so easy to prepare. Reconstitute by placing in hot water for 20-30 mins (use the water as stock). Fry them in butter, sauté or casserole. Real gourmet cuisine from the earth, that doesn't cost the earth!

The Black Summer Truffle Tuber Aestivum Vitt is a classic to add a truffle flavouring to your dishes. It has a strong aroma but is actually fairly delicate to taste. For this reason it is often added to sauces during cooking. Somewhat cheaper than its more illustrious siblings, the white and winter black, the Summer Black truffle is a great affordable way to try one of gems of world cuisine.

Comes with an elegant booklet featuring a classic Italian truffle recipe (in English and Italian).

As testimony to its quality, our Truffle Honey was awarded Gold at the 2010 Great Taste Awards

The winter black truffle comes under many names including Perigord, Precious black or Sweet rare black (Tuber Melanosporum) is, after the white truffle, considered the most valuable and desirable. Renowned for its complex, slightly sweet notes and earthy undertones, it's the most aromatic of the black truffles. Prices can reach £2000/kg for fully mature pieces.

This is a jar of 30g whole winter black truffle in a little water. It lasts for years and makes a very good alternative to fresh truffle without the huge cost.

Use: It has many uses in international cuisine. Like the white, it can be shaved directly onto just cooked dishes of pasta, rice, meat, fish, potatoes and omelettes. It can also be added at the end of cooking so the heat will bring out all its flavour. Real Haute Cuisine at home!

A true classic gourmet product. The finest fresh Pecorino cheese is laced with Spring White truffles to produce a fragrant and delicious addition to any cheeseboard.

Produced by the Fratelli Petrucci, award winning artisan cheesemakers from the mountain areas between Lazio and Umbria. Here the sheep graze peacefully on the area's voluptuous pastures and the Ewe's milk obtained is rich, creamy and full of flavour.

Whole pieces of fresh truffle are added to the milk and the Pecorino is left to rest for 30 days until it acquires its semi-soft consistency and mild yet vivid and fresh flavours.

Our truffle Pecorino is wonderful on its own with a full bodied red and also combines perfectly with many dishes including mushroom or vegetable risottos, thinly sliced on an omelette or potato gratin (marvellous!) and alongside cured meats and honeys. It is the star attraction on any cheeseboard!

Please note: this artisan cheese is hand made and weights may vary slightly.

A renowned and much sought-after truffle which is found mainly across central Italy. The Spring white or bianchetto is often confused with the more illustrious white (magnatum pico) as at first sight they appear quite similar. It has a fairly strong taste and aroma and is a little piquant, so only small amounts need be used to give a lovely fresh truffle flavour. The bianchetto can be enjoyed in all the classic white truffle dishes, such as risotto or porcini sauce.
