Menu is a specialty food products company that began life as a salami factory run by Romolo Barbieri in Cavezzo (province of Modena), Italy in the 1930's. Over the years, the company, now run by Romolo's son, Rodolfo, has expanded to create quality Italian food products for fine restaurants around the world.

Enjoy this crema of fresh button mushrooms, finely chopped and blended with the essence of truffle. Most typically used for canapes, vol-au-vents, pasta dishes, and meat dishes, it is the easiest, most flavorful way to add the flavors of mushrooms and truffles to your favorite dishes. For a gourmet snack, slice a crusty baguette, spread a thin layer of Mushroom and Truffle Cream by Menu on top and heat in the toaster oven for 90 seconds.

Try this in your favorite chicken dish, or fill crepes or canneloni. The truffle flavor is delicate but stands up to garlic and other strong spices. Wonderful!

Pros:

Aromatic, Flavorful, Rich, Unique

Best Uses:

For crostini, Tossed with pasta

Comments about Mushroom and Truffle Cream by Menu:

This product isn't exactly what I expected it, as there's no "cream" or other dairy element in the base. However, it is wonderful and full of fresh mushroom and black truffle flavor and texture - a bit earthy, cut perfectly by the richness of the sunflower oil. It's great on the Morelli saffron pasta!
