Dried Lactarius Mushrooms

Dried Lactarius Mushrooms – Saffron Milkcap with Distinctive Forest Aroma

Product Overview

Dried Lactarius Mushrooms, also known as Saffron Milkcap (Lactarius deliciosus), are a wild-harvested forest variety admired for their vibrant orange color, rich aroma, and slightly resinous, earthy flavor. This traditional Mediterranean delicacy is highly prized in gourmet cooking for its dense texture and deep umami notes that elevate soups, sauces, and sautéed dishes. Naturally air-dried to retain aroma and nutritional value, they rehydrate beautifully while maintaining their signature character.

At Tuna Sourcing, we supply ISO 22000-certified Dried Lactarius Mushrooms sustainably harvested from the pine forests of Anatolia and the Balkans. Each batch is carefully hand-cleaned, sliced, and air-dried under controlled conditions, ensuring premium quality, uniform color, and rich aroma for global buyers.
