FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How long does Creole mustard last after opening?
When kept refrigerated, it maintains its best quality for about 6 to 12 months. It remains safe to eat longer, but will lose its characteristic 'bite'.
What is the difference between Creole mustard and regular mustard?
Creole mustard is made with brown mustard seeds (rather than yellow) and is much coarser, often containing whole or partially cracked seeds, giving it a grainier texture and spicier kick.
What can I use as a substitute for Creole mustard?
The best substitute is a coarse-ground or stone-ground mustard. Spicy brown mustard is also a good alternative, though it has a smoother texture.
Is Creole mustard gluten-free?
Most brands are naturally gluten-free as they use distilled vinegar, but always check the label for malt vinegar or wheat-based thickeners.
Can Creole mustard be frozen?
Freezing is not recommended as it can cause the emulsion to break and the texture of the seeds to become mushy upon thawing.
How do I identify a high-quality Creole mustard?
Look for a thick, grainy consistency with visible dark mustard seeds and a short ingredient list consisting mainly of seeds, vinegar, and spices.
Is Creole mustard vegan?
Yes, traditional Creole mustard is vegan as it is made from plant-based seeds, vinegar, and spices. Some variations might add honey, so check the label.
What are the most common uses for Creole mustard?
It is a staple in Po' boy sandwiches, remoulade sauces, marinades for grilled meats, and as a condiment for pretzels or cheese boards.
