Merchant Gourmet Porcini Mushrooms 100 g

I used to buy these from Makro until I moved house and could no longer shop there. I was delighted to find this brand of dried mixed mushrooms on Amazon. love using these to make mushroom risotto, a great standby dried food for those days when you don't know what to make (perfect for omelets too) and you need something quick. I also use these in casseroles etc.You get loads, the jar seems to last forever and its better value than fresh mushrooms.Very pleased :)

We absolutely enjoyed the mushrooms and are about to purchase our second pot. However, I have a slight concern- the container is made from PET (No. 1) due to its nature as it can easily leak to its content as time goes, therefore, it has been named as food unfriendly plastic. It takes me quite a while to finish the mushrooms, it might be a good idea if the company would consider to change to a safer container or we, as consumers, have to find a large container that is safe enough to store the mushrooms.

Good mixture of different type mushroom, handy store cupboard fall back if you don't have just brought fresh ones to hand.As another buyer has stated, very good value for money compared to the supermarket size on offer.Would buy again as Merchant Chef produce is reliable.Quick delivery, which is a bonus.

I bought three jars, one for each of my sons and one for myself. We love cooking with dried porcini, soups, sauces and particularly risotto, delicious. Feature in French (cep), Italian (porcini) and Polish (pravdzivki) cooking. When dried the flavour is very intense so only a few are needed to flavour a dish. This size jar will be good for quite a while.(as long as jar is kept tightly closed and dry) as it would take a fair size basket of the fungi to produce a jar full of finally dried mushrooms. Used to pick and dry my own but now happy to get a jar full of the delicious fungi. Try not to take too strong a wiff when you open the jar as the aroma is very, very intense but far more subtle when used in your dishes.

Good value for money but I didn't think that they tasted of very much at. Sorry. Was hoping for more.

I've just no idea how these have such good reviews. We love mushrooms and eat a lot of them. A lot of our recipes include mushrooms especially wild ones. These are just awful, they are tasteless and chewy, they give minimum mushroom flavour. For months prior we were buying Tesco frozen wild mushroom mix and thought these would be better quality and also easier for us as we don't usually shop at Tesco, but they're far inferior and actually work out more expensive by weight than the Tesco ones!I'd really not recommend them. If you want a decent mushroom flavour and texture then either grow your own or buy frozen/fresh. Frozen wild mushrooms are particularly flavoursome.

An essential part of various Italian recipes. I made an good risotto. This tub will be well used over a few months. There does not seem to be any information about where they have grown, which is a pity.

These are very tasty and easy to use. I've also made ground mushroom powder with them to put in my soups etc. The plastic jar keeps them nice and dry and doesn't look out of place on my work top. I love these and I don't think they are too expensive for the size of the container.
