About Cèpe

A cèpe is a wild edible bolete mushroom, commonly called a porcini in English. It typically has a brown cap, a stout stem and a spongy pore layer beneath the cap rather than gills. It is sold fresh in season and commonly sold dried for year-round use.

Its flesh is firm, with a rich, earthy and nutty flavour. Fresh cèpes are cooked as mushrooms, while dried ones are usually rehydrated and have a more concentrated aroma. Common names may cover more than one related edible bolete, and quality and flavour vary with species and condition.
