Description & Flavour

The morel is a fascinating but high-maintenance wild mushroom. These little mushroom morsels offer a delicate taste of the woods with a unique texture. They find their way into sauces, stews, pies, casseroles and pasta dishes. Making a good pairing with creamy sauces and dishes, morels also work well with game and rich meats.
