Mostarda Fichi (Fig) - 800g

Mostarda di Fichi (Fig)

Mostarda di Frutta, or “mustard fruits”, is a classic Northern Italian preserve, traditionally made by poaching whole fruit in a mustard-infused syrup. Senga’s Mostarda di Fichi is crafted using whole figs, resulting in a juicy, rich texture with a delicate sweetness and a warming mustard spice.

This artisanal condiment is made following traditional Mantovan methods, using seasonal, single-varietal fresh produce. The combination of figs’ natural honeyed sweetness and the bold mustard heat makes it an exceptional pairing for cheeses, cured meats, and gourmet dishes.

Tasting Notes

Serving Suggestions

• Pair with blue cheeses such as Gorgonzola, Stilton, or Roquefort, or fresh cheeses like Burrata and Mascarpone
• Enjoy alongside aged salami, Prosciutto, and speck for a sweet-spicy contrast
• A refined addition to charcuterie boards or gourmet appetisers
• Use as a topping for roasted meats or duck liver pâté for an elegant touch
• Incorporate into desserts or pair with dark chocolate for a unique flavour combination

About the Producer

Senga is a small, family-owned farm and producer in Marcaria, Italy, originally making Mostarda di Frutta to serve in their Agriturismo (farm restaurant). Over time, mostarda became the family’s primary focus, with much of their farm’s produce being seasonally preserved using this traditional method.

Senga’s Mostarda di Frutta is unique because:

• It follows the traditional Mantovan style, using single-varietal fresh produce
• Fruits and vegetables are grown on their farm and hand-selected at peak ripeness
• Each batch is hand-made in small quantities, following the harvest cycle
• No artificial colours, preservatives, or thickening agents are used

By maintaining these principles, Senga ensures that their mostarda reflects the deep-rooted traditions of Northern Italian gastronomy, offering exceptional quality and flavour.
