Borgolab is a laboratory in Borgo Val di Taro in the province of Parma, Emilia Romagna, where artisans follow the traditional methods of generations of mushroom connoisseurs. For their sliced porcinis in olive oil, small young mushrooms are meticulously selected for their firm, compact flesh. After the mushrooms are selected and cleaned, they are blanched in hot water and wine vinegar. They are then carefully placed in a jar by hand so as not to crush or bruise them, along with olive oil, a touch of salt and natural seasonings, adding only what’s needed to preserve the unique flavors and aromas of these prized porcinis.
