Why buy dried Caesar’s Amanita?

• This edible Amanita boasts a delicate, nutty flavour with a hint of umami and subtle sweetness. Unlike many other wild mushrooms, its texture is exceptionally tender and almost creamy.
• Within the Amanita genus, many species are toxic, but the Caesar’s Amanita is one of the rare edible and safe varieties. Highly sought after by connoisseurs, it is also harder to find, as it only grows in specific regions of Southern and Central Europe.
• Dried Caesar’s Amanita retains its full intensity, making it available for use all year round.
