How to Host Your Own Mustard Tasting

dijon vu (noun) – That familiar feeling you get when sampling 14 different mustards.

A timeless pairing to tangy vinaigrettes, soft pretzels, and ballpark hotdogs, mustard is a true culinary treasure. But with so many jars lining the shelves, from smooth, grainy, spicy, and sweet, how do you know which one cuts the mustard?

That’s where our Find Your Fave Club comes in.

Noelle’s Mustard Tasting

This month, our Sales Manager, Noelle, took the hot seat (literally) to taste 14 mustards across three categories: Stone Ground, Dijon, and Flavored. From tangy classics to a dill pickle 🥒 surprise, she bravely dipped and dolloped her way through the lineup.

But which mustard reigned supreme? We won’t give it away here. You’ll have to watch the video to see which one made Noelle’s taste buds sing.

Start with tasting all the flavors in one category before moving on to the next. We recommend tasting with pretzels or neutral cracker.
