Risotto demands the earthy flavor of the Porcini. Portobellos are naturals in traditional beef stews. Shiitake, Maitake and/or Woodear mushrooms make Asian stir-fry healthy and delicious.

We Shop the World for the Best

We’re very choosy about our mushrooms. Each variety has been carefully dried, picked over and packaged. We accept only large pieces with uniform color (never faded or dingy) and deep, rich aroma. We reject packages with dust and crumbled bits—they just don’t re-hydrate well. Because we ARE so choosy, we shop worldwide from several different growers/harvesters. Therefore, you may notice that the exact origin of your OliveNation mushrooms may vary from batch to batch/season to season What will not vary, however, is our guarantee of superb quality and 100% satisfaction.

Dried Mushrooms…Ready When You Are

Dried mushrooms require very little space in the pantry. (We recommend refrigerating or freezing to preserve the long-term quality) They can be stored for up to a year. Fat-free, sodium-free and cholesterol-free, mushrooms are low in calories and a healthy source of protein. Dried mushrooms have a more concentrated flavor than fresh. Generally, 1-oz. dried mushroom equals 4-oz. fresh mushrooms. They’re ready to be reconstituted at a moment’s notice for all your favorite recipes.

Four Easy Steps to Reconstitute Dried Mushrooms

1. Fill a non-reactive bowl about halfway with dried mushrooms. Cover the mushrooms with a few inches of lukewarm water (or wine or consommé), cover the bowl with plastic wrap and soak for 30 minutes or more. Note: the cooler the water, the more flavor will be retained. (If you are in a hurry, you can use boiling water and soak for up to 20 minutes or until plump and softened.)
2. Squeeze the reconstituted mushrooms with your hands, letting the released liquid drop into a bowl. Strain this precious “liquor” through wet cheesecloth or a damp coffee filter or paper towel to remove any leftover grit. Then add this mushroom liquor to your recipe or freeze for future use in sauces, stews, braises or risottos.
3. Rinse the mushrooms gently but thoroughly under cold water to clean off any embedded soil. Slice or chop according to your recipe. Many cooks like to trim off the tough stems.
4. Use the filtered liquid and the mushrooms in any dish that calls for dried or fresh mushrooms, being sure that the liquid evaporates completely during cooking. Due to their intense flavor, a smaller amount of dried mushrooms may be used in your favorite recipes as opposed to fresh mushrooms. Note: The longer you cook the mushrooms the more effusive the release of their aroma will be. Be sure to watch the cooking process carefully as you don’t want to overcook.
