Pickled Lactarius Mix

Pickled Lactarius Mix – in Brine or Olive Oil (Kanlıca & Related Species)

Product Overview

Pickled Lactarius Mix features a selection of wild Lactarius mushrooms, including the renowned Kanlıca (Lactarius deliciosus) and related species, celebrated for their bright orange hue, firm texture, and subtle pine aroma. Preserved in natural brine or extra virgin olive oil, this gourmet mix offers a harmonious balance of acidity, aroma, and forest flavor, making it perfect for antipasti, meze, and traditional Mediterranean cuisine.

At Tuna Sourcing, we produce ISO 22000-certified Pickled Lactarius Mix using fresh, hand-harvested mushrooms collected from clean forest regions of the Mediterranean and Balkans. Each mushroom is carefully sorted, washed, and preserved to maintain its color, texture, and authentic wild taste, ensuring premium quality for retail, HORECA, and export markets.
