Plum Smoked Tea Compote

Casa Forcello’s Plum Smoked Tea Compote is a beautiful blend of Italian plums and black tea that’s been smoked over pinewood. It’s exotic but still familiar and comforting, and it pairs perfectly with grilled and roasted meats, charcuterie, and a wide variety of Italian cheeses.

Paola Calciolari founded Casa Forcello with the goal of sharing Mantova’s traditional condiments—rooted in her grandmother’s recipes—with a wider audience. She sources only the freshest local ingredients and prepares each batch using meticulous, time-honored techniques.
