Dietz & Watson Stone Ground Mustard
What it is
This is a classic condiment made from coarsely ground mustard seeds. It retains a bit of the seed's texture, offering a more rustic appearance and a bolder flavor profile than smooth mustard varieties. The stone grinding process is traditional and helps to preserve the natural oils and pungent taste of the mustard seeds. It is a versatile ingredient that adds a zesty kick to many dishes.
How people cook with it
Stone ground mustard is a staple in many kitchens, perfect for enhancing everyday meals and snacks.
- Sandwich spread
- Marinade base
- Dipping sauce
- Salad dressing component
You can use this mustard straight from the jar as a flavorful spread on sandwiches, burgers, and hot dogs. It also works wonderfully as a key ingredient in homemade salad dressings, adding depth and tang. For marinades, it can be combined with oil, vinegar, and herbs to tenderize and flavor meats. It’s excellent mixed into potato salad or coleslaw for an extra layer of complexity. Its robust flavor makes it a great addition to glazes for roasted chicken or pork.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike Dijon mustard, which is finely ground and often uses white wine, stone ground mustard features visible pieces of mustard seed. This results in a coarser texture and a more pronounced, slightly spicier flavor. It is less smooth and emulsifies differently in dressings compared to its finer counterparts.
Who it is for
Home cooks and chefs appreciate its texture and robust flavor for everyday culinary creations.
How to keep the rest
After opening, keep the jar refrigerated to maintain its freshness and prevent spoilage. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed between uses. It can be stored in the refrigerator for several months, retaining its characteristic flavor and pungency.
