Mostarda Di Cremona image

Mostarda is a condiment in Italy - but it's NOT just a mustard. Rather, it is preserved fruit that does have mustard and mustard seed included as a flavouring. Mostarda is delicious with bollilto misto, as it is such a delicious and flavourful accompaniment to the plain, boiled beef. Also exceptional used with cold cuts. Try salami, dabs of mostarda and good, crusty bread.
