Monterey Mushrooms announced the launch of its new nationwide specialty mushroom line on Sept. 22. The new line features a selection of lion’s mane, king trumpet, maitake, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms. It also includes a combination offering that includes sliced baby bellas, sliced shiitake, and oyster petals, designed to cater to the growing demand for gourmet and health-conscious culinary options.
“Our new specialty mushroom line is a testament to our dedication to providing high-quality, flavorful, and nutritious products while prioritizing sustainability,” says Mike Stephan, vice president of sales and business development at Monterey Mushrooms. “We are excited to offer mushrooms that not only enhance culinary experiences but also support a healthier planet.”
These specialty mushrooms are celebrated for their rich flavors and textures, making them a favorite among chefs and home cooks alike, the company says, adding that lion’s mane is known for its unique, seafood-like taste, while king trumpet offers a savory, umami-rich profile, and Maitake, shiitake and oyster mushrooms bring their own distinct flavors and health benefits.
Monterey Mushrooms says it is introducing this line with top seal packaging made from rPET tills, crafted entirely from 100% post-consumer materials. The use of NIR colorant ensures these packages are fully recyclable, and top-seal packaging provides added protection to mushrooms throughout the supply chain, the company says.
