PORCINI MUSHROOMS (VITERBO) –SEPTEMBER
Porcini are the uncontested emperor of mushrooms. Whether dried or eaten fresh, the porcino is famed for its rich, earthy flavor. Foraged from the wild since Roman times, porcinis star in creamy risottos or crown egg-yellow tagliatelle. Visitors to Viterbo, a city in the same region as Rome, can indulge their porcini pinings on items like wild mushroom crostini or pasta with porcini ragù.
