Castilla y León mushroom´s

A province with extensive forested areas such as Zamora is, by necessity, rich in products from the woods, like the mushrooms that are protected under the Guarantee of Quality seal.

The wealth of mushrooms in the forests of Zamora makes this province one of the most diverse in the country. The rebirth of the “mushroom revolution” is the result of the activities of mushroom lovers, associations, mycologists, processors and committed chefs.

The highest concentration of mushrooms is collected in the regions of Sayago and Aliste, where a million kilograms are collected in a good year. The use of this important forest resource has encouraged the installation of numerous processors. An industrial process that is finding a partner in cooking, thanks to the word of a large group of chefs interested in micro-cuisine, which is making steady inroads into gastronomy.
