Mediterranean Context

Mediterranean cuisine is often associated with sun, herbs, and olive groves.But it also carries the depth of forests and inland regions.

Porcini mushrooms represent this quieter side of Mediterranean cooking. Their earthy aroma and natural umami add weight and warmth to dishes without heaviness. When infused into extra virgin olive oil, porcini becomes a subtle layer rather than a dominant flavor.

This infusion is designed to add depth, not drama.
