What is chutney?
Chutney is a sauce or sauce base with roots in Indian cuisine, containing ingredients such as aromatic spices, vegetables or fruits, vinegar and sugar. When adapted to Anglo-Indian cuisine it began to contain fruits such as the classic apple, mango and others, by becoming softer and sweeter with the addition of sugar.
Later on, vinegar was added so that it could be better preserved for longer periods. The Indian version usually contains mustard oil to preserve it while in the Anglo-Indian version there is vinegar, which makes it softer in taste. Chutney is usually consumed accompanied by cheese, meat and poultry.
How chutney is used
Chutneys can be used as dips for vegetables, bread, cheese and cold cuts or in cooking as well. They can act as spices providing with an extra flavor and aroma.
Mamellada’s flavors are six. The ones of Apple, Smoked pepper, Pepper, Tomato, Orange and Onion.
In addition, four of them do not include sugar but contain natural fruit sugars. These are Pepper, smoked pepper, Orange and Apple.
Apple
Apple’s health benefits have been recorded since the Middle Ages.
It is rich in antioxidants, fiber and many other elements useful for the body.
Apple chutney is made with King star variety apples from the southern Peloponnese, Corinthian raisins, curry and Ceylon cinnamon and is an ideal complement of pork and hard cheese.
Smoked pepper
Smoked pepper chutney is made with Florina peppers, chilli and smoked paprika for a unique taste.
The sweetness of the pepper is combined with the light burning of the chilli and the smokey character of the paprika resulting in a chutney of a unique warmth.
Tomato
Tomato chutney is made with sweet pomodoro seasonal tomatoes with their unique aroma and sweet taste.
Adding to it aromatic curry and vinegar for balance, we get a unique chutney with a summer aroma but suitable for all seasons.
Pepper
Award-winning flavor at the Great Taste Awards 2019.
Sweet Florina peppers with chilli compose a unique flavor, sweet sour, aromatic and slightly spicy matching with everything from cheese and cold cuts to chocolate.
Onion
Vatiki onions, a PDO product is the main ingredient of this chutney along with semi-sweet red wine from local grape varieties, and red wine vinegar.
The end result is sweet, salty and slightly sour making it ideal to accompany dishes with cheese, cold cuts as well as other juicy burgers.
Orange
They used one of the most famous and favorite flavors of Messinia, the sausage with orange, and added it in a jar (without the meat of course).
The end result is a deeply aromatic and delicious chutney with the sweetness and amazing taste of orange, the warmth along with cumin’s depth.
Excellent on a cheese and cold meat platter, green salads or even a simple cheese sandwich. As a spice fits perfectly with chicken, grilled turkey with potatoes.
