Mostarda with Whole Fruit (400 Gram) by igourmet.com At the start of the 20th century, Luigi Lazzaris & Son began making specialty foods bound to traditional northern Italian cuisine. The founder of a small pastry shop in Conegliano Veneto, Luigi mixed sugar, quince, candied fruit and mustard oil to obtain a sweet, spicy delicacy. After much praise and many prizes, the passion behind his original "mostarda" grew into a modern production company. Mostarda is derived from a very old country Christmas recipe. 17th century rural families prepared a special flour, mustard, vinegar, candied fruit and wine must dressing (wine must is how the recipe adopted the name mostarda). Lazzaris Fruit Mostarda is produced using a variety of whole fruits. Dipped in sugar and glucose syrup and pure mustard oil, its characteristic taste allows it to be enjoyed on its own, as an excellent dessert as well as being a first-class accompaniment to a number of dishes. |
