This sauce has a very unique presentation according to its namesake, it used to be served in vases cooled by putting them over ice. Apicius' De re coquinaria describes many uses for this condiment, to mention some of the most common pairing: white meats, cheeses, fruit, bread and eggs. We would be remiss not to mention its extremely pleasant refreshing effects especially when paired with summer fruits.
