Fresh Wild Chanterelles — Foraged in Season
Fresh Wild Chanterelles — Foraged in Season
Few wild mushrooms announce the arrival of the foraging season quite like chanterelles. Prized by chefs for their apricot-like aroma, golden color, and naturally velvety texture, fresh chanterelles bring an unmistakable woodland character to the kitchen. Whether you’re sautéing them simply in butter or folding them into sauces, pastas, or roasted meats, their flavor is both refined and unmistakably wild.
Our chanterelles are responsibly harvested at peak season, when their moisture, firmness, and aroma are at their best. Each order is carefully graded: Field Run offers a beautiful mix of sizes ideal for everyday cooking, while Buttons represent the most delicate, petite specimens—perfect for plating, whole roasting, or showcasing in elevated dishes.
Chanterelles cook beautifully, maintaining their structure without becoming watery or rubbery. Their naturally high levels of glutamates deliver deep umami and exceptional browning when sautéed, and a gentle fruitiness follows in the finish. They pair particularly well with cream, eggs, poultry, pork, and fresh herbs like tarragon or thyme.
To ensure they arrive in peak condition, your chanterelles are packed with care and shipped fresh, never frozen. Their quality and integrity are protected from the moment they leave the forest to the moment they reach your kitchen—something our chef clients have valued for more than a decade.
