Mostarda with Figs and Balsamic by Leonardi

An unusual holiday specialty originating in Cremona, in the Lombardia region of Italy, traditional Mostarda is a mixture of whole fruits preserved in simple syrup and mustard oil. Its origin goes back to the honey, mustard, oil and vinegar condiments of the Roman Empire most likely originated from the need to preserve fruit.

While it has the taste and sweetness of citrus fruits, Mostarda also contains mustard oil, which accounts for its "kick". It is traditionally served with a variety of foods such as cold boiled meats, hams and pork loin, roasted turkey, leg of lamb, cheeses and game. This Mostarda is made with figs and Balsamic vinegar for a tangy, sweet and slightly spicy twist that pairs well with Prosciutto Cotto or Pecorino. Used much the same way as chutney.

Each jar contains approximately 8.8 ounces (240 gr.) of Mostarda With Figs and Balsamic by Leonardi from Italy.
