Greek Morel Mushrooms (Morchella)

They are native mushrooms known worldwide in the world of gastronomy and in Greece as well since they are highly appreciated in many regions.

These are some of the best quality, hand-picked, wild mushrooms from the Greek woodlands, solar-dried which significantly improves their quality in terms of color, texture, and taste, boosting the intensity of the flavors and enriching them with vitamin D, since ergosterol is converted to ergocalciferol when exposed to natural UV radiation from the sun.

Use
In stews & soups, silky sauces, pasta & risotto, cheese dishes, omelets, and casseroles.

Notes
◉ Mushrooms should be stored in airtight glass containers -in a cool, dark, and dry area- to preserve their flavor and texture.
