Matsutake King

Made with wild Matsu (Pine) take (Mushrooms) blended with organic cacao nibs (raw chocolate beans).

Wild matsutake mushrooms are hard to harvest and therefore the price is very high. Matsutake grow under pine trees and are usually concealed under the fallen leaves. It forms a symbiotic relationship with the roots of a limited number of tree species. The unique flavor of matsutake is owed to the rare conditions under which it grows, under the base of pine trees between 20 to 60 years old and it never grows in the same place twice. Their magnificently spicy aroma is similar to cinnamon.

Raw crushed cacao beans are the more natural form of chocolate, and ours come from a Fair Trade Peruvian co-op. Blended with the matsutake in an organic apple cider base, they add a wonderful richness to the mushrooms spicy overtones.

An amazing dressing when blended with olive oil or apple or cranberry juices. As a marinade, it is wonderful for white fish when mixed with canola oil, and great with chicken.



Candy Cap
MokaCandy cap mushrooms, scientifically known as Lactarius rubidus, are among the most deliciously fragrant mushrooms you could ever hope to find. When fresh they don't look or smell like much, but when dried they have a pungent odor of butterscotch or maple sugar. The mushroom caps are burnt orange to reddish brown and range from 50 cent to silver dollar coin size. They only grow in the western United States, and are not able to be cultivated. They are definitely a delicacy, fetching up to $200 per pound.

In this recipe, candy caps are mixed with organic & Fair Trade espresso and cocoa powder in an organic apple cider base with a mix of organic herbs.

Excellent for a meat marinade when mixed 1 Tbs concentrate with ¼ cup olive or canola oil. Also use as a dipping sauce for bread, or blend with tomato sauce and served over pasta with Parmigiano Reggiano.

Porcini Grey Salt
Wild harvested porcini mushroom powder with French gray salt. Porcini mushrooms are a rich flavored, full aroma, meaty mushroom that is amazingly versatile - delicate enough to give grace to an elegant stew or sauce, and yet vigorous enough to stand up to something as flavorful as a thick grilled steak.

The French salt used has a light gray color characteristic of Guerande sea salts. It is 100% natural, unrefined sea salt carefully stone ground to be easily dispensed in a shaker. Its high mineral content gives a wonderful flavor as its lower sodium content makes it much healthier than mined or refined salts. Neither treated or washed, it is totally natural and can be used in products that are labeled Organic.

This salt is certified organic by France's Nature & Progrés. This is the most rigorous salt certification process, which equates to purity and quality. (NOTE: The USDA does not allow any Salt types to be labeled as Organic in the United States.)

Flamingo Salt
Wild harvested lobster mushroom powder with a pink salt blend from Bolivia, the Himalayas, and Hawaii. Fantastic paired with seafood, South Asian cooking, or rich cream sauces over pasta.

Butterfly Salt
Rich and buttery wild Black Trumpet mushroom powder, paired with Pacific and French sea salts and black pepper. This is the ultimate all around salt, with plenty of rich flavor and just a hint of heat from the pepper. One of our customer’s favorites.
