In particular, the best selling products are the sliced ​​champignon mushrooms, the stuffed champignon mushrooms and the mix of mushrooms to be sautéed.

The fresh mushrooms branded Sapori del mio Orto are placed in the refrigerated counters of the Fruit and Vegetable sections, close to the IV range products.
