What it is

You can spread this mustard directly onto sandwiches and burgers for a zesty kick. It is also excellent whisked into salad dressings, providing a sharp counterpoint to creamy or oily bases. For marinades, it helps tenderize meats and infuses them with flavor. It can be stirred into sauces and gravies to add a savory dimension or used as a glaze for roasted meats and vegetables. Its robust flavor stands up well to cooking.
