English Mustard

English mustard is a distinctive and pungent condiment made predominantly from ground mustard seeds, turmeric, and vinegar. Originating in England, it is a versatile and widely-loved addition to many savory dishes or simply used as a delicious spread in sandwiches, adding an intense burst of heat and flavor to complement and enhance the taste of various foods such as roast beef, ham, and sausages. English mustard comes in various consistencies, which include a ready-to-use paste, sold in jars or squeeze bottles, or in powdered form to be mixed with water or other liquids. This golden and aromatic condiment is a staple in British culinary culture and easily elevates the profile of any dish in which it is incorporated.

English Mustard FAQ
When cooking with English mustard, common mistakes include using too much of it due to its potency, adding it too early to a dish where it can lose its flavor, and not considering its impact on the overall taste of the dishes. This strong mustard is meant to enhance the flavor, not overpower it. To get the most out of English mustard, a small amount goes a long way. Use it in moderation and balance with other ingredients. Also, to retain its full flavor, add it towards the end of your cooking, especially when used in sauces or stews. For the powdered form of English mustard, make sure to mix it well to avoid clumps. Did you know you could also use English mustard as a meat tenderizer? Its properties help to breakdown tough proteins making your cuts more flavorful and juicy.

Expiration & Storage Tips
When does english mustard expire?
English mustard, when unopened and kept in a cool, dry place, can last up to 2 years past the printed expiration date. Once opened, if it's stored in the refrigerator, it can last for about a year. If, after opening, the mustard is held at room temperature, it'll retain its best quality for about a month. If you have frozen it (in a tightly sealed container), it can last indefinitely, but it's best used within a year for optimal quality.
How do you tell if english mustard is bad?
Knowing if English mustard has gone bad is fairly simple. The easiest way is to check the smell and texture. If it smells less pungent than usual, or has altered in color or consistency (perhaps appearing more watery or clumpy), it is likely that it has gone bad. Any formation of mold is an obvious sign of spoilage as well. Even though it may not cause foodborne illness, the taste won't be at its peak, which, let's admit it, is one of the reasons we love it.
Tips for storing english mustard to extend shelf life
• Always store unopened English mustard in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight. • Once opened, make sure to tightly reseal the jar or bottle and store it in a cold part of your refrigerator to extend its shelf life. • While freezing it is an option, it's certainly not necessary or commonly done due to its long shelf life. If you decide to freeze it though, make sure it’s stored in a tightly-sealed container. To defrost, simply transfer it to the fridge a day or two before you need to use it. • To keep your mustard fresh for longer, always use a clean utensil when scooping it out. This prevents contaminants from entering the container that could potentially curtail its longevity.
