Mantovana Mustard: The Art of Preserving the Fruits of the Earth

Mantua mustard, less spicy than its cousin from Cremona, represents the ingenuity of the people of Mantua in preserving the fruits of the fertile Po Valley. This preparation, which balances sweetness and pungency, has accompanied boiled meats and cheeses on noble and peasant tables for centuries. In the "Antiche Conserve" box set we offer different varieties of artisanal mustard, from the classic with quinces to the creative versions with pears and pumpkin, together with local compotes and pickles. A tribute to the preservation techniques that have allowed the people of Mantua to enjoy summer flavors even during the harsh Po Valley winters.
