From Portobello mushrooms to Champignons, Chanterelles, and more — available whole, sliced, diced, or puréed, roasted, chargrilled, marinated in oil and herbs, or simply 'au naturel' — L'AQUILA ready-to-eat mushrooms are adaptable for any use.

The many usages include fillings for pies, sandwiches, omelettes, quiches, or arancini; served as accompaniments to meat and poultry; or used as toppings for pizza, focaccia, polenta, or bruschetta. They also work beautifully in pasta, risotto, salads, soups, legume pots, and many other dishes.

There are countless recipes you can create with our ingredients, but below we have proposed some inspirational ideas that we hope will spark your creativity. Let's explore them.
