Boletus edulis is extremely versatile. Here are the culinary trends for 2026:

The Art of Rehydration (If you use dried Boletus)

If you buy dehydrated Boletus, soak them in warm water for 30 minutes. PRO tip: Use that water to cook rice or pasta; it contains all the umami essence of the mushroom.

Star Gastronomic Uses

Royal Carpaccio: Cut the fresh boletus into almost transparent slices, add extra virgin olive oil, salt flakes and a few drops of lemon juice.
Seasonal Risotto: The classic combination that never fails. Boletus mushrooms add a creaminess that no other mushroom can match.
Gourmet Side Dish: Sautéed with garlic and thyme to accompany a good sirloin steak or cod confit.
