Excellent Product! Excellent Service!
I'm a convert
I've been making my own vanilla extract for over a decade and used to buy my beans based on reviews at a Infamous Global seller. Was never sure what I would get. Then I found this company! The beans were beautiful! Fragrant, moist but not too moist, easy to cut open to expose the seeds and each Bean was six to seven inches long. I'm a happy extract maker! 💝💃🥳
High Quality Vanilla - excellent customer service.
Slo Food group team takes great care of their customers. Received a broken bottle of Vanilla and it was immediately handled. Received my replacement bottle within 3 days.
This extract is used to make our Tahitian Vanilla Cakes!

What Makes This Shiitake Different
Grown on Oak, Not Sawdust
Cultivated on oak logs exposed to South Korea's natural environment, these shiitake develop slowly and absorb nutrients straight from the wood, unlike fast-grown, indoor sawdust-substrate mushrooms.
Firmer, Meatier Texture
Traditional log cultivation and natural daily temperature swings produce a notably firmer bite than mass-produced alternatives, ideal for dishes that need real substance.
Deep, Complex Umami
Slow growth means deep flavor development, delivering a hearty umami character loved from Japan to the Americas.
Versatile in the Kitchen
From broths and stir-fries to risotto and pho, these shiitake rehydrate beautifully and adapt to nearly any savory dish.

Add depth and flavor to your dishes with our sliced, dried shiitake mushrooms from South Korea. Cultivated on oak logs and exposed to the natural outdoor environment, these mushrooms are perfect for soups, stews, and broths. Enhance your cooking with our high-quality, dehydrated Lentinula edodes. Our dried shiitake are grade A quality, rehydrate well, and can be used in a number of cooking applications.

Shiitake mushrooms are milder than our Porcini mushrooms from Bulgaria, and pair especially well alongside morel mushrooms in a mixed wild mushroom broth.
p>These shiitake mushrooms are cultivated on oak logs and left exposed to the natural outdoor environment in South Korea, a traditional growing method that produces a notably firmer, meatier texture than mushrooms grown indoors on sawdust substrate. Because the logs are exposed to natural daily temperature swings, the mushrooms develop more slowly and absorb nutrients directly from the oak wood itself, contributing to a deeper, more complex flavor and aroma than fast-grown alternatives. This slower, more natural cultivation process is part of why these shiitake stand out in both broths, like a Japanese-style dashi, and as a standalone ingredient in a wide range of dishes.
Place your sliced shiitakes in a bowl and gently rinse with cool water to remove any potential dirt or forest matter. Once rinsed, submerge the sliced shiitakes in warm liquid (160-180°F) for about 15-20 minutes. Water, vegetable stock, chicken stock, wine, and other use-case-appropriate liquids can all be used, and the resulting soaking liquid can be strained and saved to add extra depth to soups, sauces, or broths.
Shiitake mushrooms have many common names used throughout the world, some of the most common are: Donko, Oakwood Mushroom, Golden Oak Mushroom, Black Forest Mushroom, Sawtooth Oak Mushroom, Black Winter Mushroom, and of course, the Latin name Lentinula edodes.
