Cremona mustard festival

Cremona is the home of mustard, considered a delicate and harmonious artistic balance of all 5 senses. The mustard is in fact a product that can certainly satisfy the taste but, through its bright colors and its scent with notes, the sight and smell too. In addition, its soft texture also intrigues from the point of view of touch. An artistic balance that can be associated with the art of violin making, another fundamental element and pride of Cremona. The mustard has been appreciated by many ancient and contemporary musicians and writers. Some of them said that the fruits that compose it “are too beautiful to eat”. It has been defined as an extremely refined dish, baroque, sweet, full-bodied, and spicy.

This Cremonese excellence is celebrated on the Mustard Festival, from October 15th to November 30th 2022. The goal is to bring to light traditions, which represent one of the pillars of Cremona.
