Mevalco – the home of exceptional Spanish food is offering wholesalers a new jewel to its range: wild porcini mushrooms, harvested in the unspoilt province of Soria, within the dramatic landscapes of northern Spain’s Basque region.
Sitting over 1,000 metres above sea level, Soria’s unique climate creates the perfect conditions for these prized mushrooms to flourish. With one of the longest wild mushroom seasons in Spain, the region is a paradise for porcini lovers – where the air is pure, the forests ancient, and every harvest tells a story of tradition and terroir.
Each cep is hand-foraged by licensed locals – teachers, farmers, and shopkeepers who know the land intimately. For them, this isn’t a profession, but a passion. They gather with care and respect, earning a fair return for their craft while preserving the delicate ecosystems that sustain the mushrooms.
To bring these exceptional treasures to the UK, Mevalco has partnered with Arotz Foods, Spain’s market leader in gourmet wild ingredients. With over 50 years of expertise, Arotz is renowned for its commitment to quality, provenance, and sustainability – producing wild delicacies that celebrate the very best of Spanish gastronomy.
Picked and frozen in seconds to lock in freshness, Mevalco’s Wild Porcini retain their perfect texture, shape, and deep umami flavour. Available in formats of whole, sliced or in chunks, they’re perfect for risottos, sauces, and standout seasonal menus.
David Menendez, Managing Director of Mevalco, says:
“We’re incredibly proud to introduce these outstanding porcini to UK wholesalers. Finding mushrooms that truly hold their structure, flavour, and fragrance is a challenge – these are the real deal. Each one carries the spirit of the Spanish forest.”
