ULRIKA'S Fig and Balsamic Mustard Sauce

ULRIKA'S fig aceto balsamico mustard sauce, a fruity and spicy speciality from Vorarlberg

ULRIKA'S fig aceto balsamico mustard sauce combines a purée of ripe figs with aceto balsamico and fine mustard heat into a fruity, refined sauce from the workshop in Dornbirn. It is the classic companion for a cheese board and a Vorarlberg cold platter and brings fruity depth to ham, game and hearty sauces.

Taste and aroma

Sweet, full-bodied fig meets the clear heat of mustard, underlined by the malty, tangy aceto balsamico. The fruit takes the edge off the mustard sauce and makes it round and elegant – fruity on the attack, spicy in the finish.

How to use

Serve the fig mustard sauce classically with a cheese board, with hard cheese, mountain cheese and camembert. It goes with ham, smoked bacon, pâtés and game and refines salad dressings, gravies and sandwiches. Just a spoonful lifts a simple cold platter to a festive level.

Important: store cool and dry, keep refrigerated after opening and use within a few weeks. Stir briefly before use.

Tip from the Gewürzamt

A dollop with matured pecorino, walnuts and fresh figs makes a quick, elegant starter. It is also a fine contrast to strong smoked bacon or roast game.
