In medieval Europe, there was a belief that spicy foods could "warm the blood" and lead to lustful tendencies. Spicy foods were thought to have aphrodisiac qualities, including mustard. As a result, a few very strict orders of monks were forbidden to eat mustard, lest they fall prey to carnal desires. Other monasteries embraced mustard-making and turned it into an art form. We salute these “lusty monks,” and in that grand tradition, we handcraft our mustard in small batches, with all-natural ingredients that would make our monastic predecessors proud.
Our coarse-ground mustard mixed with the smoky bite of chipotles and spiced to perfection. Put it on grilled chicken, mix it in with some sauteed potatoes, slather it on a sandwich, add it to your favorite deviled egg recipe.
