Mushroom and Summer Black Truffle Paste (Geusi Vounou, 120 g)
Geusi Vounou Mushroom and Summer Black Truffle Paste is a finely processed mushroom blend containing 80% Agaricus bisporus mushrooms and 5 % summer black truffle Tuber aestivum. The concentrated mushroom base is complemented by sunflower oil, vinegar, maize starch, yeast extract, flavourings and salt.
Its thick consistency makes it easy to stir into pasta, risotto, cream sauces, scrambled eggs or mashed potatoes. It can also be spread directly onto bruschetta, bread or savoury pastries, or used as a thin layer in a sandwich.
The truffle aroma comes through most clearly in simple dishes with butter, rice, pasta, eggs, potatoes, mild cheese or cream. Strong seasoning and prolonged cooking may overpower its flavour.
How to use
- Pasta and risotto – stir one or two teaspoons into the finished dish and thin as needed with pasta water, butter or cream.
- Eggs and potatoes – add a small amount to scrambled eggs, an omelette, mashed potatoes or baked potatoes.
- Sauces – use it as a mushroom base with cream, stock or roasting juices.
- Bruschetta and starters – spread a thin layer over toasted bread and serve with mild cheese or fresh herbs.
Start with one teaspoon per serving and add more after tasting. Stir the paste into hot dishes shortly before serving.

We try to preserve them in their original form, as offered by Mother Nature, with as little processing as possible before packaging.
Today, we grow organic herbs and other aromatic plants with an emphasis on the purity of our products and the traditional way of preparing them.
The manufacturer of our company is Vassilis Karapas. He was born in 1994 in Grevena and studied agricultural development and farm business management at the Alexandria Institute of Technology in Thessaloniki.
