History

Plant & perfume

Known by its scientific name Cantharellus cibarius, the chanterelle mushroom is one of the most iconic mushrooms in French cuisine. Listed in culinary works since the 18th century, it was highly prized by kings and nobles for its delicate flavor. Foragers have always sought it out in coniferous and deciduous woods, where it grows in golden colonies. A symbol of abundance and autumnal indulgence, the chanterelle occupies a special place in European culinary heritage.

Benefits

Cooking and Virtue

Chanterelle powder blends perfectly into many dishes thanks to its mild, fruity flavor. It is ideal for adding flavor to light sauces, omelets, poultry, or white fish. In a velouté or cream soup, it reveals subtle notes of hazelnut and forest floor. Chefs also like to add it to vegetable purées, polenta, or homemade tagliatelle. As a final seasoning, a touch of this powder on a hot dish releases a delicious and delicate fragrance reminiscent of an autumn forest.

Origins

A long journey

The chanterelle mushroom grows naturally in mixed deciduous and coniferous forests, where it benefits from filtered light and well-aerated soil. It has a mycorrhizal relationship with trees, particularly birch, beech, and spruce, drawing the nutrients it needs for growth from their roots. It prefers acidic, sandy, and well-moistened soils, but does not tolerate excess standing water. Its development is closely linked to the mild heat of rainy summers and stable weather conditions, which explains its abundance after summer storms.
