Mostarda Pear Casa Forcello®

Mostarda Pear Casa Forcello®

A Bold Balance of Italian Sweetness and Heat.

Discover the sophisticated flavors of Mantova with our Pear Mostarda, a traditional Italian condiment that masterfully balances hand-cut candied fruit with the spicy kick of mustard extract. Created by Paola Calciolari in Lombardia, Italy, this isn't your average fruit preserve. Paola—a former pharmacist who traded her lab coat for her grandmother’s recipes—sources locally harvested pears and undergoes a labor-intensive process of candying them in their own juices before adding a potent mustard essence. The result is an extraordinarily fresh, chunky, and flavorful condiment that adds a gourmet "pop" to any dish.
