MAGDA®, the pioneer in wild mushrooms
The expert selector
Our expert selectors have been exploring the entire world for nearly 20 years to identify the sites where the best wild mushrooms can be found. At the beginning of each harvest season, they travel through China, Europe, Russia and Latin America searching for the richest and most exceptional forests.
FROM HARVEST TO SORTING: AUTHENTIC AND METICULOUS
EXPERTISE
All our mushrooms are carefully hand-picked by men and women from the area. They have ancestral expertise in species identification and environmental protection and are aware that mushrooms are fragile and delicate. To avoid compromising future harvests, at Magda we are careful to manage the resources intelligently, in partnership with our pickers. We ask them to only pick the mushrooms of the right size and calibre,
to best meet our customer expectations and not damage the undergrowth. In this way, the reproductive cycles continue naturally. Mushrooms are perishable so the processing is done on the harvest site. As soon as they are delivered, they are taken from the baskets to the MAGDA® workshops for their “Star” treatment. Our expertise involves three essential, almost artisan stages. Each mushroom is painstakingly inspected brushed, scraped then sorted. Depending on its quality, calibre and size, it will be kept whole, cut or sliced before freezing.
FREEZING ?
THIS IS THE IDEAL PROCESS FOR PRESERVING THE FRESHNESS AND ALL THE FLAVOURS OF THE FOREST
Once the sorting is done, Magda® immediately freezes the mushrooms, using a specific process that guarantees the best preservation of the natural textures, aromas and flavours.
From forest to plate, freezing is the most efficient process for respecting the thousands of nuances of wild mushroom flavours. Our mushrooms and vegetables are harvested at peak ripeness, then frozen within 24 hours at very low temperature. There is no time for them to be altered by air, heat or other external factors; their freshness is preserved, not forgetting their appearance and flavour.

FAQ
1. DO FROZEN MUSHROOMS HAVE AS MUCH FLAVOUR AS FRESH MUSHROOMS?
Yes! Freezing is one of the best techniques for preserving the quality of foods. With this process, the nutrients are maintained in an almost exactly natural state and the food can be preserved for many months. During cooking, there is no change to the colours or the flavours. The nutritional qualities and flavours of the mushrooms and vegetables are preserved…for a long time!
2. WHY DO YOUR FOREST MUSHROOMS COME FROM COUNTRIES LIKE CHINA, POLAND AND RUSSIA?
We want to offer our consumers the best products from the forest. We have carefully and exactingly selected the world’s richest forests. Magda® is present in France and also China, Poland, Romania and even Chile and Turkey. To guarantee the best quality for our products, we have chosen to be present where the mushrooms are harvested which means we have total control of the complete production, harvest and packaging cycle (sorting, cleaning, selecting, freezing). Our mushrooms are frozen just hours after being picked. You are therefore eating a product that has all its natural nutritional and taste qualities. For your information, half of the world’s cep harvest comes from the forests of the Himalayas. To find our more, visit the “Discover” pages.
