Dried wild mushrooms from Sweden and small batch oils
We sell top quality dried wild mushrooms that are hand picked by us, or other carefully selected pickers, in Sweden. Handled with care from start to finish, so that only the finest reach your table, we choose the best specimens and clean them in the forest as we pick. On the same day, we slice (if applicable) and dry to ensure that the maximum taste is conserved. Drying enhances the flavour of these varieties and increases shelf life. There is no waste – rehydrate only what you need and keep the rest in an airtight container for another occasion. As there is no sand or grit in our mushrooms they don’t need to be rinsed before use.
Rehydrating dried mushrooms
As the flavour of mushrooms is concentrated by drying a little goes a long way. Rehydrate by putting in a bowl with just enough hot (but not boiling) water to cover for about 20-30 minutes, then use as you would any fresh mushroom. The flavourful soaking water from all the varieties can be used as stock but we recommend that you taste the liquid from Winter Chanterelle and Horn of Plenty before using, to check that the more pungent aroma of these mushrooms isn’t going to overwhelm the flavour of the dish you are making.
