Rovellón
S tier
Rovellón is the Catalan treasure name often applied to choice saffron milk caps—especially blood-latex types like L. sanguifluus in Catalan cuisine—grilled with garlic and parsley as a seasonal icon. Market rovellón commands high prices in autumn. Spanish grill culture treats rovellón as steak-like mushrooms. Latex colour and species debates animate mycologists; cooks care about firmness and clean pine flavour. Eat promptly after harvest.
