Description
A Sicilian lemon chutney for fish, meat and aged cheeses.
Lively and fragrant with an exotic touch, this chutney is built around Sicilian lemons (38%), cooked with cane sugar, onions, white wine vinegar, salt and black pepper. It balances sweetness and acidity and behaves as a savoury condiment. It is made by Il Giardino, a family farm in Contrada Rovettazzo near Giarre, with hand-picked seasonal fruit and no preservatives or artificial flavourings.
For restaurants and chefs. Use it with main courses of fish or meat, for example next to grilled swordfish, roast pork or a terrine. On the cheese board it partners semi-aged and aged cheeses such as Asiago d’Allevo and Parmigiano Reggiano, as the producer suggests. A spoonful lifts canapés and aperitivo plates, and one jar serves many portions.
For specialty and Italian stores. A lemon chutney from Sicily is an unusual find, and it gives curious customers a reason to try something new. It sells with aged cheeses and cured meats for boards, dinners and aperitivo, which makes it a natural add-on at the deli counter. Customers who know chutney as an Indian or British condiment discover a Mediterranean version, a simple story for staff to tell.
Format guidance: the 98 g jar suits single tasting boards, aperitivo service and gift boxes. For kitchen use across a service, the 240 g jar is the practical choice.
