German Mustard

We buy imported mustard from the Mustard Museum. Do an internet search. They are good people to do business with. I am not associated with the company in any way other than being an occasional customer. You might email them and ask what a typical German mustard is.

Sounds like it might be Löwensenf, one of my son's favorites. it coomes in varying degrees of heat. You can order it from GermanDeli.com: http://www.germandeli.com/lpr.html They are very easy to deal with. The shipping may seem a bit expensive, but your order will arrive beautifully packaged in a slttle iinsulated container if you have ordered anything perishable.

Ashley; Here in Seattle we have a German store so I am able to buy mustard here locally but it is so much more expensive than when you buy it in Germany. I am like you, I love the German mustard and always bring some home when we visit. Our next trip is this May, 3 weeks from today, but who's counting, and I plan to have some in my bag when we arrive home.
Hope you have success.

Thanks for the tips everyone. I'll give them a try! And I hope you have a fabulous time on your trip, Vanessa! I loved Germany and can't wait to go back someday...and spend a whole day buying mustard.

Mmmmmm. German mustard.
Funny story: Mother in law came to visit and we put some mustard on her sandwich and she started to chew and you could see that she was trying to put her finger on the flavor. Finally she asked "did you put wasabi on my sandwich?" It amused us greatly.

I bought "Lowensenf" at my local Cost Plus World Market within the last few months. Pretty good mustard, however i still prefer real Colmans powder

I ran by our World Market yesterday and found some Lowensenf, so I'm giving that a try tonight with some brats and pan fried potatoes. As I was leaving the store, two of the sales people told me what "awesome mustard" it was. We shall see! And that is such a cute story about you MIL, Thomas. That kick at the end sure surprised me when I first tasted it to!

Do you have an Aldi's in your vicinity?

You can also purchase it it via Amazon: http://tinyurl.com/769la32

I really like Loewensenf. Here is my funny story. I sent a package of German goodies to my parents one time, with a tube of Loewensenf as well as Nutella, etc. My mom asked me if the tube was toothpaste.

I just checked the National Mustard Museum online inventory and found two types of Lowensenf mustard Hot and Traditional Bavarian. Hot comes in a three jar pack if you wish. They mail. Again, I'm not associatiated with this company.

I think you've hit it there... but be aware that "German" mustard, like all other things in Germany, is regional. My wife and I love the three small sausages in eastern Bavaria so we import plenty of jars of Haendlmaiers suesser Hausmachersenf from Regensburg.

Anyone in the Cincinnati area might try Jungle Jim's. Extensive international foods, in addition to fruits, veggies, cheeses, etc. Take a cooler and plenty of money.
