Spicy mustard is like sex. You’d be hard-pressed to have too much of it. We can say this because if you looked in our fridge at any given time, more space is taken up by mustard than you might imagine. Fortunately, our rate of consumption of this wonderful condiment is rapid enough to keep it from from overwhelming the cache of hot sauces and salsas…but not by much.

Just the chance to use this mustard at home was great, but I took it with me to work for at least 2 weeks. The description on the bottle goes like this:

A great spicy mix of Jalapeno Peppers, Chipotle Peppers, and Fresh Squeezed Lime. A must for all the “Mustardholics” in the world. You will never view mustard the same.

Great on sausage, toasted sandwiches, and your favorite greasy burger. Awesome for kicking up potato salad and deviled eggs. Use as a marinade or slather sauce for grilling. Napkin Required!

Ingredients: mustard (distilled vinegar, water, no. 1 grade mustard seed, salt, turmeric, paprika, spice, natural flavor, garlic powder), jalapeno peppers, fresh squeezed lime, natural smoke flavor, chipotle pepper flakes, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, sea salt, onion powder, brown sugar, and other spices

The ingredients were an all-natural bunch to be sure, so I wasted no time in getting this bottle open and getting the mustard to do my bidding….

First impression: For one thing, you get this in a big ol’ bottle. That’s right, it’s a full twelve ounces of spicy mustard goodness. The bottle itself also offers something different also. It has that wax seal that you often see in certain collectibles. So, you get to feel like you’re breaking into a collectible every time you open a bottle. As for the aroma…well, it smells like mustard. Yup, pretty much like just about any other yellow mustard you might pick up off the shelf. It pours fairly thick, with obvious chunks of what must be pieces of jalapeno jutting out of the yellow mass of mustard sauce.

Taste: Few mustards are good enough to eat straight out of the jar/bottle, but you could certainly make a case for this one. While the taste of the mustard itself is pretty pronounced, there is a strong flavor of the jalapeno and chipotle that complements it. What I didn’t expect was how much the lime adds to the flavor. It’s almost an aftertaste, but adds a nice finish in flavor. More flavorful than hot, this mustard goes about 4.5/10 on my heat scale.

Hot dogs and hamburgers seems to be a no-brainer use for this, so I wanted so what else I could do with it. For me, it was a great addition to creamy salads, and I tried it in a bunch of them…potato salad, cole slaw, tuna salad, egg salad. Not only do you get that great mustard-y taste, but you can get that precious heat in your food as well. I did try it a slather sauce on the grill, making some grilled sausage absolutely terrific. Imagine a use for mustard, and this sauce will do it with flavor-filled style.

Oh yeah…it goes great on hamburgers and hot dogs. Did you think it wouldn’t? Tsk, tsk.

Overall recommendation: Mustard lovers rejoice…and go get some of this sauce! Great jalapeno flavor, good consistency, plus enough heat to at least get your attention make this quite a palatable choice for the chilehead who wants that spicy mustard to hoard for use on everything imaginable. You’ll adore it on your hamburger, but saving it just for that will make you miss out on more possibilities. Have some soft pretzels laying around? You’ll have trouble keeping this mustard away from those. Eat hearty…with this spicy mustard. Enjoy!
