What is chutney?

Originally from India, the word chutney comes from the Hindi word catni, meaning "to crush" and "strong spices." Traditionally served with curries, chutney made its way to European tables thanks to the British. Today, it refers to a fruit-based preparation simmered with vinegar, sugar, and spices, offering a jam-like texture and a unique aromatic profile that balances sweetness, acidity, and warmth.

A versatile and festive condiment

Chutney is the ideal companion for indulgent moments:

- It brings out the richness of foie gras with a fruity, spicy touch.

- It awakens the flavors of roasted meats, whether white or red.

- It pairs wonderfully with fine charcuterie, much like onion confit or mild mustard.

- It adds an original twist to cheeses, from mild to mature varieties.

- It can even be used as a marinade base or to spice up a gourmet sandwich.
