Creole Mustard

Creole mustard is a coarse, grainy mustard condiment with visible cracked seeds and a zesty, vinegary bite. It brings sharp heat and a pleasant pop from the seeds, and it holds up well in sauces and spreads; cooks use it in remoulade, dressings, marinades, and on po’ boy sandwiches, typically sold as whole-grain or stone-ground styles.\n\nIt developed in New Orleans under French mustard influence blended with local spice traditions and spread through Gulf Coast cooking. Producers commonly soak mustard seeds in vinegar and spices before stone-grinding, a process now associated with Creole and Cajun cuisines.
