Mostarda

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mostarda (also called mostarda di frutta, mostarda di Cremona, or mostarda cremonese) is an Italian condiment made of candied fruit and mustard oil.

Mostarda is usually eaten with boiled meat or aged cheese.

[edit] Variations

While mostarda di Cremona is made with several kinds of different fruit, mostarda di Mantova (also called mostarda di mele campanine or mostarda mantovana) is made from small, sour green apples called mele Campanine.[1][2][3] The original recipe is from Cremona, and the variation is from Mantua, both in northern Italy.
