Merkki: Sperlari

The Mostarda is a typical culinary specialty from northern Italy. The Mostarda Cremonese even goes back to 1397, as a servant dropped a melon in a bucket of honey. This combination was essential for the subsequent development of the product.

The company Sperlari produces the popular mustard fruits since 1836. They follow a strict selection process of the best ingredients that need to be harvested at the right maturity. The candying process is done with a mustard flavored sugar syrup. This creates the distinctive sweet and spicy taste.

Depending on the region of origin, there are different types of Mostarda. They differ according to the fruit used. Some contain only one type of fruit (eg apple slices or apple puree) or different whole or sliced ​​fruit: cherries, apricots, figs, tangerines, pears, peaches, melon, pineapple or citron. The richest and most common variant is the Mostarda from Cremona.

Traditionally, the mostarda is combined with meat dishes and especially in the winter (since no fresh fruit is available then). Today, however, people combine the Mostarda to many dishes, especially cheese. There are many ways to use this tasty side dish in a creative way.

With the Mostarda you can enrich the table even in winter with the colors and flavors of summer.
