Wild mustard , a spontaneous plant rich in history and tradition, takes a fascinating journey from the field to the jar , becoming a gourmet product appreciated for its nutritional properties and health benefits . This article explores the artisanal process that keeps the unique qualities of wild mustard alive.
Manual and sustainable harvesting
The manual harvesting of wild mustard is a crucial first step in the process that takes it from the fertile fields of the Sibari Plain in Calabria to the jar on our tables. This traditional method not only ensures that each leaf meets the highest standards of quality and freshness but also underlines the commitment to sustainable agricultural practices . The choice to harvest by hand keeps the structure of the plant intact and safeguards the natural habitat, contributing to the conservation of the ecosystem's biodiversity . Furthermore, the scrupulous attention in the selection of the leaves allows us to preserve all their nutritional properties , guaranteeing a final product rich in essential vitamins and minerals.
The artisanal preparation
The artisanal preparation is distinguished by the respect for traditional rhythms and methods , which have the power to transform wild mustard into a unique and healthy product. The processing begins immediately after harvesting to ensure that the freshness of the leaves is maintained . This process involves cleaning, selecting and inside a "hot solution" composed of vinegar, salt and water. Each step is carried out with meticulous attention , in order to preserve the nutrients and organoleptic qualities of wild mustard, including its distinctive aromatic notes.
The Bottling
Finally, bottling marks the culmination of the wild mustard's journey from the field to the consumer's kitchen. The use of extra virgin olive oil "Dolce di Rossano" and our own mix of high quality spices and a carefully balanced mix of spices further enhances the natural flavor of mustard, creating a versatile and nutritious condiment . This step is crucial to ensure the preservation of the product over time, allowing you to enjoy the beneficial properties of wild mustard whenever desired. The oil, in addition to playing a preservative role, enriches the nutritional profile of the condiment, adding healthy fatty acids to the diet.
Each jar of wild mustard in oil is therefore the result of an accurate and respectful process, which goes from the earth to the table, offering a rich gastronomic experience not only in terms of taste but also for the well-being it promotes.
Nutritional Properties and Health Benefits
Wild mustard is not only an excellent ingredient for the palate; it is also a precious ally for our health . Rich in antioxidants, it has anti-inflammatory properties and can help improve cardiovascular health and prevent chronic diseases. Our Wild Mustard in Oil is the fruit of this journey from the field to the jar, offering a product that contains all the taste and benefits of this extraordinary herb .
Conclusion
Wild mustard is an excellent example of how sustainable cultivation and production methods can lead to the creation of gourmet products that are not only delicious but also beneficial to our health . From the field to the jar, every step is carefully managed to ensure that the final product is of the highest quality.
