AJ's Edible Arts Mustard in Red Ale
and White Wine. Sweet onions were the
star of this Washington company's mustard
line—until its two newest varieties came to
market. Red Ale Mustard was born out of a collaboration with neighboring Ice Harbor Brewing
Company, which provides the ale that adds malt
and fruit notes to this stone-ground mustard
recipe that also delivers satisfying heat. White
Wine Mustard is smooth and sweet, blended with a distinct vintage for a pleasing result. Both are available in 4-ounce and
9-ounce jars. ajsediblearts.com
