What characteristics make Cremonese mostarda unique compared to other Italian variants?
Fruits: In Cremonese mostarda, the fruit is usually presented in large pieces or whole. This feature distinguishes it, for instance, from the Venetian mostarda, which has smaller fruit pieces.
Syrup consistency: The Cremonese mostarda features a particularly thick syrup that envelops the fruit pieces, giving the product an almost gelatinous consistency.
Spiciness: While all mostardas have a certain level of spiciness due to the mustard essence, the amount and intensity can differ from one version to another. The Cremonese mostarda tends to maintain a harmonious balance between sweetness and spiciness.
Reputation and history: Cremonese mostarda is especially renowned and has a long history in the Lombardy region. Its tradition and reputation often make it a favored choice for those seeking a high-quality mostarda.
