Loewensenf - Medium Hot Mustard 100ml tube

Löwensenf traces its roots to 1903, when Otto and Frieda Frenzel opened a vinegar and mustard factory in Metz, then part of the German Empire. After the First World War returned the city to France, the couple rebuilt in Düsseldorf, a city famous for mustard making since the eighteenth century, and in 1920 launched the fiery Löwensenf Extra that made the brand a household name. The lion in the name honors the lion on Düsseldorf’s coat of arms, and the company still produces its mustards in the city today.

While the Extra variety is famous for its intense, sinus-clearing heat, this medium hot mustard offers a gentler expression of the same Düsseldorf tradition. It is made from a blend of brown and yellow mustard seeds, which together create a balanced level of pungency, combined with water, spirit vinegar, salt, a touch of sugar, and spices. The recipe contains no preservatives, and the seeds are finely ground for a smooth consistency.

The flavor is tangy and savory, with a mild sweetness that softens the sharp vinegar edge. A pleasant, moderate heat builds gradually without overwhelming the palate, and the creamy texture finishes cleanly with a gentle spicy warmth.
