Ristoris Porcini Mushroom Seasoning: the woods in a few seconds
Ristoris granular porcini mushroom seasoning is a professional preparation in a 500 g jar (case of 6) that brings the woody, rounded note of porcini to risotto, sauces, soups and fish dishes in seconds. It combines dehydrated porcini mushrooms (7%) with a vegetable base of carrot, onion and garlic plus yeast extract, dissolves instantly in boiling water for a fragrant broth, and is gluten-free, lactose-free and free from hydrogenated fats.
What a granular mushroom seasoning is
A granular seasoning is a soluble blend that condenses the flavour of an ingredient into a free-flowing powder. Unlike a stock cube, it disperses instantly and lets the chef dose it precisely, gram by gram. The porcini version captures the aroma of boletus mushrooms, prized in Italian cooking since the Renaissance for risotti, tagliatelle and braised meats, without the long rehydration and cold extraction that dried mushrooms require.

Sensory profile
Free-flowing beige granules with visible flecks of dehydrated porcini. The aroma is earthy and forest-like; on the palate it delivers a savoury, umami base rounded by carrot, onion and garlic. Because it dissolves completely it leaves no graininess in sauces or risotti.

Professional uses in the kitchen
- Porcini risotto: add 20-22 g per litre of stock to a Carnaroli or Arborio risotto, finishing the mantecatura off the heat with cold butter and Parmigiano.
- Instant mushroom broth: dissolve 20-22 g in 1000 ml of boiling water and simmer a few minutes for soups, veloute or as a cooking liquid.
- Pasta sauces: stir into tagliatelle, pappardelle or ravioli sauces of the Po Valley tradition for an immediate forest depth.
- Meat and fish: sprinkle over scallops, roast meats and fish before plating to lift the dish.
- Polenta and stews: a Lombard classic, it reinforces the mushroom note in polenta concia and braised dishes.
Pairings
It is the natural ally of Carnaroli and Arborio rice for an authentic porcini risotto, of summer black truffle paste for a layered earthy sauce, and of the other Ristoris granular bases (vegetable, meat, fish fumet) for building a complete professional kitchen pantry.
