Il Mongetto Mostarda d’uva

Mostarda d'uva is a traditional condiment from the Monferrato area of the Piedmont region of Italy. After the harvest season, it was common to glean the small grapes that were left on the vine due to their immaturity and sourness. Once these smaller grapes were pressed, they gave a must that was then reduced by boiling for several hours in a copper pot on the stove or the fireplace. Other fruits such as figs, quince, martin-sec pears, hazelnuts and pumpkin (which were also left behind because they were not ripe at the time of the harvest) were selected and put to boil in the same copper pot.

The end result was the "Mostarda d'uva" (Must Chutney), also locally referred to as "Cugna". This chutney was served with polenta, boiled or cured meats, cheeses and with sorbet. Azienda Agricola Il Mongetto still prepares their delicious condiment according to this traditional recipe.
