Pear Rosemary Compote Casa Forcello®

We are smitten with this compote featuring pears and fragrant rosemary. It is a perfect blend of sweet, tart, and savory flavors. We suggest pairing it with Campo de Montalban®, Mitica® Parmigiano Reggiano, or roasted turkey.

Paola Calciolari began her career as a pharmacist but her true passion was food. She took a gamble, leaving her secure job in order to produce typical condiments from Mantova, often employing her grandmother’s recipes. And we’re glad she did. She makes her exceptional mostardas and compotes by sourcing locally harvested fruit, slicing and candying them in their juices; it is a highly labor intensive process. They are extraordinarily fresh, flavorful and chunky.
