PEAR MUSTARD

Made with Williams pears from the I.G.P. (Protected Geographical Indication) area of Mantua, this traditional Mantuan preserve has always been used to accompany boiled meats, Salame Mantovano, and Parmigiano Reggiano. Thanks to its balanced spiciness and perfect consistency, it harmonises not only with all hard and aged cheeses but also with cured meats, in addition to traditional boiled meats. Its versatility is evident in the kitchen, whether in first courses, such as gorgonzola risotto or pecorino ravioli, or in second courses like a guinea fowl salad.

Ingredients: pears, sugar, mustard flavouring

Ideal with aged cheeses such as Parmigiano Reggiano, Pecorino Stagionato, Provolone, Gorgonzola or Fontina, or cured meats, such as Prosciutto Crudo di Parma, Mortadella di Bologna IGP, Coppa and Salame Mantovano. It can also enhance second courses such as Arrosto di Vitello or Pesce Spada Affumicato or be served over chocolate ice cream.

Le Tamerici

Located in the small municipality of Bagnolo San Vito, Le Tamerici is a place where gastronomic tradition meets research and experimentation. Founded in 1991 by Paola Calciolari, it produces quality preserves, especially jams and mustards. It rediscovers traditional ingredients from the province of Mantua (Lombardy region) that have long been forgotten, such as the Campanina apple or white watermelon, and uses unusual vegetables and fruits for candied fruits, such as green tomato and pumpkin.

Le Tamerici combines a craft and niche spirit with the use of cutting-edge production technologies. The progressive expansion of the company has not compromised quality. The high standards of its production processes are proven by achieving two of the most important international quality certifications: IFS and BRC.
