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 example, from the Venetian mostarda, which has smaller fruit pieces.
Syrup consistency: The Cremonese mostarda has a particularly thick syrup that envelops the fruit pieces, giving the product an almost gelatinous consistency.
Spiciness: Although all mostardas have some spiciness thanks to the essence of mustard, the amount and intensity can vary from one version to another. Cremonese mostarda tends to have a rather harmonious balance between sweetness and spiciness.
Reputation and history: Cremonese mostarda is particularly famous and has a long history in the Lombardy region. Its tradition and reputation often make it a preferred choice for those looking for high-quality mostarda.
