Description
The quince preserve with added mustard is a particularly solid conserve made from quinces, sugar, and mustard. This sweet and slightly spicy mustard is typical of Italian cuisine and is mainly used as an accompaniment for cheeses. The history of quince paste dates back to Roman times, when fruit was cooked with sugar to obtain a sweet preserve. Later, during the Middle Ages, the recipe spread throughout Europe and was enriched with the addition of spices and aromas. The addition of mustard to quince paste is a more recent idea, but it perfectly complements the sweet flavor of the fruit. The quince is a fruit that resembles an apple but is smaller and has a more irregular shape. The flesh of the quince is hard and tart, which is why it is mainly used for making preserves, jams, and liqueurs. The quince paste with added mustard from Andrini Marmellate is made only with high-quality ingredients and follows a traditional recipe.
