Karl Otto, Organic

Limited Edition Porcini Spice Blend for Risottos and Sauces

Karl Otto is our take on the perfect spice blend for mushroom lovers. The star of the blend is organic Karl Johan (Porcini) mushroom, known for its deep, earthy umami flavor that enhances any dish.

A Special and Limited Release

In autumn 2015, we proudly announced the new kid on the block Karl Otto. Unfortunately, it turned out that despite our thorough processing, the supplier could not deliver the quality we desired and we had to disappoint our loyal customers who had already ordered the product. But now we have rekindled our hopes and although the supply of the rare commodity is limited, we dare to take the plunge again. We start up with a small Spanish supplier of organic Karl Johan (also known as Porcini) mushrooms that are picked locally. To this effect, Karl Otto is only a limited edition so far.

How to use Karl Otto

Karl Otto is perfect for seasoning risottos - whether made with rice or pearl barley - but it also works wonders in soups, pasta dishes, and sauces. Use approximately 2 tablespoons per 100 g of risotto rice. Just 1 tablespoon (about 10 g) equals roughly 100 g of fresh Porcini mushrooms, giving your dishes a rich, refined depth of flavor.

What’s in Karl Otto?

This blend consists of dried Porcini mushrooms, garlic, curly parsley, black pepper, and delicate blue cornflower petals, creating an intense taste of forest and autumn.
