Description
Fresh wild chanterelles (Cantharellus cibarius), also known as girolles, hand-picked in the forests of the Ukrainian Carpathians during the harvest season. Instantly recognisable by their golden-yellow, trumpet-like shape and fruity, apricot-like aroma with a gentle peppery finish, chanterelles are one of the most sought-after wild mushrooms in European kitchens. Like all true wild mushrooms they cannot be cultivated, so supply follows the season. A key advantage over softer species: chanterelles are firm and resilient, holding their shape and texture in the pan without turning slimy — which is exactly why chefs prize them for whole, visible plating. Foraged and moved into the cold chain within hours, they are hand-cleaned and graded by size, from small premium girolles for fine dining to larger grades for general kitchen use and processing. This is a seasonal, perishable product supplied on short lead times with chilled logistics. Typical applications: restaurants and fine dining, fresh retail and specialist grocers, and processors making their own frozen or preserved chanterelles. All mushrooms are hand-cleaned, sorted and checked for foreign matter. Sourcing is traceable from forest to dispatch, and handling follows HACCP standards. Supplied in ventilated crates, palletised and chilled for transport. Availability and minimum order are confirmed by season — please request current harvest status. Delivery to the EU on FCA or DAP terms, with full documentation.

FAQs
This premium Carpathian ingredient is available in industrial-grade fresh forms during peak harvest, or as premium Individually Quick Frozen (IQF) selections year-round. Depending on your manufacturing specifications, we can offer the product color-sorted, calibrated by millimeter size, or semi-processed to integrate seamlessly into automated food production lines, dairy manufacturing, or industrial baking applications.
Yes. While fresh, non-frozen batches are strictly tied to our seasonal harvesting calendar, our IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) fruit products are processed at peak nutritional maturity and stored in deep-freeze facilities. This advanced preservation enables us to guarantee a continuous, uninterrupted wholesale supply to our B2B partners 365 days a year, regardless of the crop's calendar season.
To preserve cell structure, flavor profile, and total food safety, strict cold-chain protocols must be followed. Fresh orders require immediate humidity-controlled refrigeration and rapid processing. Our IQF deep-frozen products must be maintained continuously at a stable temperature of -18°C or lower to prevent enzymatic degradation and clustering, ensuring full compliance with international HACCP safety guidelines.
The commercial shelf life depends entirely on the product form. Freshly harvested batches are highly perishable and require immediate food processing or distribution within a few days under refrigeration. Our IQF frozen items possess a robust shelf life of 12 to 24 months when held continuously at -18°C, retaining their natural color, structure, and microbiological stability.
