About Porcini mushrooms

Boletus edulis, known as Cep, Porcini or Penny-bun Bolete, is a most sought-after edible wild mushroom.

Porcini mushrooms are a cult favourite in the culinary arts because of their rich flavour and numerous health benefits. They are, for example, high on antioxidants and a good source of proteins. 

The colour of the boletus ranges from white, light brown, brown, dark brown to red, while inside the stalk it is white. 

 

Collecting

Fresh boletus is gathered in ecological areas all over Serbia, far away from any pollution, typical for big cities and industrial regions. That is why it could be well said that edible boletus belongs to the rank of ecologically healthy food, enriched by nutritious ingredients specific for that kind. 

 

Processing and packaging

After purchasing the boletus from pickers, we clean and classify them according to our customer requirements. The packing is done in wooden crates, usually of 3 kg. 

Depending on the size of the cap, the product is mainly classified into three groups: garniture, medium and grande. It is stored at the temperature of +2 to +4 ∞C.
