The wet and little hot spring that we are enjoying so far feel the foundations for what can be a Good Perretxikos campaign. Although a little sun between so many days of rain would also help them grow. The PERRETXIKO or Spring Seta ‘Calocybe Gambosa’ is very appreciated in Navarra and Basque Country and is characterized by its fresh aroma, fine and delicate texture and fluish flavor. The first specimens usually sprout in April, so also in some places it is called SANTA DE SAN JORGE (April 23),While the Alava waiting for her for San Prudencio (April 28).
What places do these mushrooms appear?
The perretxikos, unlike autumn fungi and other mycological species, usually sprout In the same locations every year. Normally sheltered Begings, Bugs, Zarces, but also in Praderas. They grow in a group, forming circles or “witch corros.” In Navarra, the location of these seals is a legacy that is transmitted in families from parents to children and is preserved as a treasure. For those who are not fortunate to know one of these locations, perhaps it is easier to find perretxikos casually in areas of high mountain grass, advanced May, and even June, if it search between the Darker green grass corros.
What price have already reached?
If you want to taste this exquisite mushroom and do not know the location of any seal, you must prepare the wallet. These days have already begun to be sold in the Pamplona markets and some fruit and vegetable establishments. The first They have come to sell last week to 90 euros per kilo in the Iturrama neighborhoodFor example. However, if the time conditions continue to accompany and the rain alternates with sunny, not very hot days, it is foreseeable that the greatest abundance of specimens will lower prices. Thus, in this week in some Basque supply markets it is already being sold to 72 euros the perretxiko from Álava already 62 that of Navarra.
