Few food brands have a history as rich as Colman’s (www.colmansusa.com).  Our company’s English Mustard was first produced in Norfolk, Britain, back in 1814 and quickly became a staple on British dinner tables. In 1866, founder Jeremiah Colman was appointed mustard-maker to Queen Victoria and, just 14 years later, the high-quality product—in its distinctive red and yellow tin—was introduced to the United States, where it’s been at the heart of American dinnertime since. Naturally, it’s also become America’s go-to condiment for family Christmas feasts adding its legendary kick to most any holiday entrée.
From the very beginning, we've harvested only the finest mustard seeds.  Today Colman’s is still grown and milled in Norfolk, remaining true to the time-honored traditions that have turned this product into the spicy mustard of choice, worldwide, for nearly 200 years. As a matter of fact, every minute of the day, 45 jars of Colman’s Mustard are purchased in different locations across the globe.

Colman’s English Mustard provides a pure, spicy compliment to a wide variety of holiday staples, from ham and turkey to soups, stews and salad dressings. For example, use Colman’s English Mustard when you prepare your baked holiday ham and sweet potato mustard mash (see cooking instructions below). Or take a peek at www.colmansusa.com for a list of mouthwatering recipes.
