Mostarda di Cremona

Mostarda (sometimes also called mostarda di frutta) is a northern Italian condiment made of candied fruit and a mustard-flavoured syrup.[1] Commercially the essential oil of mustard is employed, which has the advantage of transparency; in home cooking, mustard powder heated in white wine may be used.[2][3]

Traditionally mostarda was served with boiled meats,[4] the bollito misto, which is a speciality of northern Italian cooking. More recently it has become a popular accompaniment to cheeses.

Variations

[edit | edit source]

Mostarda di Cremona or mostarda cremonese (from Cremona) is made with several types of fruit, and is the version that typifies mostarda di frutta.[5]

Mostarda di Mantova (also called mostarda di mele campanine or mostarda mantovana) is made from small, sour green apples called mele campanine.[5]

Another notable mostarda is mostarda vicentina, which is a specialty of the town of Vicenza, in Veneto; it is characterized by a jam-like consistency and the use of quince (mele cotogne) as its main ingredient.[4]

Other versions include mostarda di Voghera, mostarda siciliana and mostarda bolognese.[citation needed]
