Mostarda Fragola (Strawberry) - Ctn 6 x 120g

Mostarda di Fragole (Strawberry)

Mostarda di Frutta, or “mustard fruits”, is a classic Northern Italian preserve, traditionally made by poaching fruit or vegetables in a mustard-infused syrup. Senga’s Mostarda di Fragole is crafted using small, firm strawberries, creating a harmonious balance of sweetness, heat, and aromatic depth.

This artisanal condiment is a traditional Mantovan-style mostarda, crafted in small batches using single-varietal fresh produce. The result is a vibrant, flavourful accompaniment that pairs beautifully with cheeses, cured meats, and even classic Italian dishes.

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 has become the family’s primary focus, with much of their farm’s produce being seasonally preserved using this traditional method.

Senga’s Mostarda di Frutta stands out for its authenticity and craftsmanship:

• Traditional Mantovan-style, using single-varietal fresh produce
• Fruits and vegetables grown on their farm, harvested seasonally
• Hand-made in small batches following each harvest
• No artificial colours, preservatives, or thickening agents

These principles ensure that Senga’s Mostarda maintains exceptional quality and a deep connection to Northern Italy’s culinary heritage.
