Frequently Asked Questions
Does Händlmaier Sweet Mustard contain allergens?
The mustard contains mustard seeds, which are a declared allergen in Europe, and the listed ingredients are mustard seeds, sugar, sugar cane syrup, spirit vinegar, and spices. It does not declare wheat, milk, egg, or nuts. Anyone with a mustard or spice allergy should read the printed ingredient panel on the jar before eating.
How should I store Händlmaier mustard after opening?
Keep the unopened jar in a cool, dry cupboard away from sunlight. After opening, store it in the refrigerator with the lid screwed on tightly and use a clean spoon each time. Sweet mustard keeps well for several weeks once opened, though the flavor slowly mellows, so serve it fresh for Weisswurst breakfasts.
What does Bavarian sweet mustard taste like?
Händlmaier Hausmacher Senf is sweet first, with a mild mustard warmth and a hint of caramel from the sugar cane syrup, and no sharp heat like Dijon or English mustard. The texture is a fine, creamy paste. It is made to complement the delicate flavor of Weisswurst rather than to add bite to a dish.
Is Händlmaier mustard imported from Germany?
Yes. This is the authentic Händlmaier Hausmacher Senf in the original 100 mL glass jar, produced in Regensburg, Bavaria, not a US-market version. Real Prime Deals imports it and ships every order from our New Jersey warehouse, so US and Canadian customers get the same mustard served in Munich beer gardens.
I purchased this item in June 2023. The jar I received looks a bit different than the one shown in the listing - it's completely in Deutsch and states Händlmaier bayerisch süßer hausmachersenf which translates to Händlmaier Bavarian Sweet Homemade Mustard. Everything is written in Deutsch including ingredients, etc. Otherwise the label, font, icon, color etc is the same. It's the classic mustard which pairs with weisswurst but tastes good on just about anything. It's 385 grams which translates to 13.6 ounces. It's an absolute buy. EDIT: Just reordered it in September 2023, the jar label is different, it's in English. But the glass jar itself is exactly the same and the lid is exactly the same - it's in Deutsch.
Mustard is genuine Bavarian sweet mustard. However the way they (whoever) packed it, the jar broke twice in a row!
If you know the real Weißwurst in Munich it will always come with this local mustard. It is mellow and a hint sweet, perfect for any kind of sausage and a good pretzel! Enjoy!
A must with weisswurst and with other is okay too
Amazingly delicious 😋!
This is the best sweet mustard available. I highly recommend.
Awesome German sweet mustard
Best mustard ever. Amazon'z prices are far too expensive.
Delicious, sweet mustard for all mustard uses
Best mustard ever! 👍
The legend!
I love this mustard; I'm addicted to it! When I travel to Germany, I bring back several jars, when all the jars are empty, I rely on Amazon to hold me over until I travel to Europe again. Its less than 3 euros a jar in Berlin, but I am thankful to pay importer price for now. It's to good to go without!
Great tasting sweet mustard. Makes hotdogs, hamburgers, and especially sausage a special treat. Well worth the extra cost. Not to hot and not too sweet.
Tastes just like the one I get in the German Restaurants.
Do not search any longer. This is the best sweet mustard money can buy. Escellent for sausages (in particular Bavarian Weisswurst!!) and to top smoked salmon sandwitches.
Authentic German taste.
This sweet mustard is absolutely delectable! Our first order arrived popped open, and the seller replaced it for us as quickly as they could. Excellent customer service, on top of an excellent product!
Got it, tried it, it's DELICIOUS. It goes very, very well with the various summer sausages. It addes a completeness to the flavor profiles that only make sense after you try it. Highly recommended!I rarely post to reviews unless something is very good or very bad. This is is very much in the corner of good.
Best mustard! Sweet and delicious!
If you like sweet mustard, you HAVE to try this. It goes great with Rosmary crackers :)
Love this mustard !
This is the original Bavarian sweet mustard to eat with Bavarian Weisswurst sausages which I loved eating while living and working in Munich, Germany. Luckily, those German sausages et.al. can be ordered here in the States through Stiglmeier Sausage Co in IL. This is the only original Bavarian sweet mustard that can be eaten with Weisswurst, reminding me of my almost 30-year stay in Munich. Simply delicious! 👍😁😉
I used this mustard on turkey and ham sandwiches, i especially liked to use it with sliced sautéed Bavarian sausage as an appetizer . Never fails to receive compliments.
simply Yum. Fell in love with this mustard in Germany. So good on the pretzels. It is a sweeter mustard.
Love this product. Been buying it for years after going to Europe and tasting a sample
I bought a bunch of different kinds of mustard for a company burger./hot dog event and this was their favorite. All I know is this jar was empty at the end of the event.
This is the German mustard I was a custom to using on the weiswurst. My husband loves it and we use it on a lot of other things, So much so I’ve had to order another one since the we’ve used up one jar & visiting friends fell in love with it. I had gave them my back up jar. Now ordered another one. The sweet mustard at the store are just not the same.
My favorite sweet mustard from Germany is available on amazon! Yes!!!
If you’re looking for a sweet Bavarian mustard, this one can’t be beat.
Bought a jar of this a year or so ago and now needed another. Love the sweet taste of this mustard. Wonderful on grilled brats.
Have had to go a distance to get this mustard at a German deli so was delighted that Amazon carried it. It is the only mustard I eat! There is a sweetness to it and it compliments all food. Just sent a bottle to my niece who feel in love with it at my cookout. Elevated a simple hot dog that's for sure!
So happy to find this again. Full flavor, spicy and sweet.
