Where do our products come from?
With the aim of offering a wide variety of high-end mushrooms, Andesol has established various partnerships with collectors all around the world.
Among the producing countries for dried morels, Patagonia, Turkey, India, Canada, Pakistan are one of the main suppliers of the company. One should note that not many mushrooms are grown on French soil which forces specialists and wholesalers like Andesol to go beyond the national territory for provision.

Then, the company continues its adventure in India to pick up the mushrooms which grow in Cachemire mountains and the ones in Himalaya in Pakistan, along with China which remains as one of the leaders of this sector.
