An unusual specialty originating in Cremona, in the Lombardia region of
Italy, traditional Mostarda is a mixture of whole fruits preserved in
simple syrup and mustard oil. Its origin goes back to the honey, mustard,
oil and vinegar condiments of the Roman Empire most likely originating
from the need to preserve fruit.

While it has the taste and sweetness of citrus fruits, Mostarda also
contains mustard oil, which accounts for its "kick". This Mostarda is
made with orange, lemon, tangerine, apple and pear and has a sweet, yet
slightly spicy twist. It is traditionally served with a variety of
foods such as cold boiled meats, hams and pork loin, roasted turkey, leg
of lamb, cheeses and game. Used much the same way as chutney.

Each jar contains approximately 8.5 ounces (250 gr) of Mostarda di
Cremona Frutta Mista from Italy.
