Getting its start in foodservice at a central
Pennsylvania restaurant, this dipping mustard got customers pleading for a bottled
option to take home. The fandom spread
far and wide when the business began
selling it to-go, and this year Herlocher's
Dipping Mustard is available nationwide
in 30 states. Made with mustard flour and a hint of turmeric, the dip
features a quick tip on the jar: refrigerate to keep the heat; store on a

Sutter Buttes Olive Oil Mustard and
Cabernet Garlic Mustard. Making an
autumn debut is fitting for these elegant, handmade mustards. An old Polish family recipe
inspired the versatile olive oil mustard, which
uses the company's claim-to-fame California
extra-virgin olive oil. To produce the cabernetgarlic variety, mustard seeds are soaked in
California cabernet for 48 to 72 hours, and then
blended with roasted garlic puree for a truly unique flavor pairing
that enhances meat dishes and salad dressings alike. Sutter Buttes'
other new beverage-infused mustard varieties include jalapeño whiskey, chardonnay and amber beer. sutterbuttesoliveoil.com

Uncle Jim's Gluten-Free Wasabi
Pepper Mustard. Hungarian wax
peppers form the base of Uncle Jim's line
of pepper mustards, a condiment founder
Jim Scher discovered in rural Ohio. The
newest offering is the producer's first gluten-free variety. A touch of wasabi delivers
the heat, and a blend of spices—including turmeric and paprika—make this a
full-flavored mustard that's so thick it has to be spread, not poured.
Use as a dip or try fan-contributed recipes, like Wasabi Bacon Bean
Bundles, available on the company website. unclejimsstore.com
