Masseria Mirogallo King Trumpet Mushrooms are a traditional Southern Italian specialty made from Cardoncelli mushrooms, a prized variety native to the Murge hills between Basilicata and Puglia—an area considered the “cradle” of this mushroom.
Cardoncelli, part of the oyster mushroom family, are known for growing naturally on wild thistle (cardo selvatico), which gives them their distinctive character. These mushrooms are highly valued in Italian cuisine for their firm, meaty texture and refined, earthy flavor.
Carefully selected and preserved in extra virgin olive oil, they maintain their structure and depth while becoming tender and ready to enjoy. This traditional preservation method enhances their natural flavor without overpowering it.
