Since prehistoric times - as demonstrated by the finds preserved in the Archaeological Museum of Parma - mushrooms have been part of the diet of the Terramare people.

Mushrooms were known for their organoleptic characteristics already in ancient Rome.
The Porcino di Borgotaro also boasts a glorious fame in the kitchen, appreciated by the Farnese dukes - in 1606.
