The Catalan tradition of picking mushrooms: an autumn treasure
In Catalonia, autumn not only means a change in the landscape, but also a deep-rooted tradition: mushroom picking. Entire families go out into the woods, baskets in hand, looking for these treasures hidden under the trees. For generations, picking mushrooms has been an activity that connects people with nature and with our traditional cuisine.
The rovellons , kings of the season
Rovellons are among the most appreciated mushrooms on Catalan tables. With their orange color and intense flavor, they are ideal for grilling or grilling with a dash of Oliferm extra virgin olive oil. Their firm and tasty meat makes them an autumn delight, and in many homes it is tradition to accompany them with a good wine from the region, thus celebrating the fruits of our land.
Catalan mushroom sauté with olive oil
When it comes to preparing a good Catalan mushroom sauté , extra virgin olive oil is essential to enhance the authentic flavors of the land. Once the mushrooms have been cleaned, sautéing them over high heat with a little Oliferm oil gives them that tender texture and that intense taste that we love so much. Arbequina olive oil from Castelldans, with its mild and fruity flavor, is the perfect ally for this traditional dish.
Cream of mushrooms , a comforting delight
Another way to enjoy mushrooms is to prepare a mushroom cream. With simple ingredients, such as fresh mushrooms , potato and broth, we get a soft and nutritious dish. Just before serving, adding a drizzle of Oliferm olive oil on top not only intensifies the flavor, but also provides a velvety texture that turns this cream into a unique culinary experience.
The flavor of our land
With Oliferm , each dish brings with it the authentic flavor of the Castelldans countryside. This oil, made with selected Arbequina olives, is the ideal companion for our traditional recipes, such as Catalan mushroom sauté or mushroom cream. These traditions, which have been passed down from generation to generation, are still alive thanks to the use of ingredients that respect and celebrate the flavor of the earth.
