Oyster mushroom

Tender oyster mushroom with a mild taste, slightly anise and marine note.

Oyster mushrooms offer tender and delicate flesh with a slight umami taste and a subtle woody note. Their fine and elastic texture lends itself to gentle or light cooking. In Mediterranean cuisine, they enrich dishes without dominating and readily replace more robust mushrooms in refined preparations.
