Salsa di Porcini – Porcini Mushroom Sauce

Deep. Earthy. Utterly luxurious.

There’s mushroom sauce… and then there’s Salsa di Porcini — a rich, unctuous Italian classic that celebrates the king of mushrooms in all its glory.

Properly made for us in Liguria, Northern Italy, this is a sauce that doesn’t shout — it seduces. Porcini mushrooms are gently blended with Extra Virgin Olive Oil and garlic to create something smooth, savoury and deeply comforting. No distractions. Just pure porcini richness, done properly.

The result? A silky, umami-packed sauce with real depth and elegance — the kind that makes even the simplest dish feel restaurant-worthy. One spoonful and you’ll see why porcini are so prized.

How to enjoy it

Stir through tagliatelle or pappardelle with a splash of pasta water for instant luxury.
Swirl into risotto or creamy polenta for deep, savoury comfort.
Serve alongside steak, chicken or grilled mushrooms as a finishing sauce.
Spread on toasted sourdough or bruschetta for a simple but indulgent bite.

For cosy nights in, impressive dinners with minimal effort, or whenever you want your food to feel just a little bit special.

Mushrooms, elevated.
Pesto’s darker, more indulgent cousin.
