Kiwi and Pear Mustard, Mostarda di Kiwi e Pere - 5.3 oz (150 g), by Tealdi, from Italy.

Italian mustards, known to them as "mostarde," are a traditional condiment with a rich history in Italian cuisine. Each region offers its unique variation, and all of them are delicious. This mustard is a delightful twist on the classic condiment, fitting into the Piedmontese category known for combining sweet and savory flavors.

As the name suggests, "Kiwi and Pear Mustard" blends the natural sweetness of pears with the tartness of kiwis and a spicy mustard undertone. These ingredients are cooked with sugar to create a delicious and creamy consistency, that is then jarred and pasteurized to preserve its flavors.

Here are a few delicious ways to enjoy Tealdi's Kiwi and Pear Mustard:
