Mostarda Pera (Pear) - Ctn 6 x 120g

Mostarda di Pera (Pear)

Mostarda di Frutta, or “mustard fruits”, is a classic Northern Italian preserve, made by poaching fruit in a mustard-infused syrup. Senga’s Mostarda di Pera is crafted using ripe, single-varietal pears, resulting in a delicate balance of natural sweetness and mustard warmth.

This artisanal condiment follows traditional Mantovan methods, using seasonal, farm-grown produce. Its fruity yet subtly spicy profile makes it an ideal pairing for cheeses, cured meats, and gourmet 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 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.
