Frequently Asked Questions
Does Löwensenf Extra Scharf contain allergens?
The listed ingredients are mustard seed, vinegar, water, and salt. Mustard itself is a recognized allergen for some people, and the product does not list gluten-containing ingredients on the label shown. Facility handling notices can change between production runs, so read the printed label on your jar to confirm current allergen information before use.
Does Löwensenf Extra Scharf need to be refrigerated?
Many mustard jars, including this one, recommend refrigerating after opening to help preserve flavor and freshness; read the printed label on your jar for the manufacturer's exact instructions, since guidance can vary between production runs. An unopened jar can generally be kept in a cool, dry pantry away from direct sunlight.
How hot is Löwensenf Extra Scharf compared to regular mustard?
The label describes Extra Scharf, meaning extra hot in German, as noticeably sharper than standard yellow mustard or Dijon mustard, with heat from the mustard seed itself rather than added chili or pepper. The exact heat level is a matter of personal taste, so read the printed label and start with a small amount if you are unsure.
Is Löwensenf Extra Scharf imported from Europe?
Yes. Löwensenf mustard is made in Düsseldorf, Germany, and this jar is imported for US and Canadian customers rather than produced domestically. Real Prime Deals ships every order from its New Jersey warehouse, so customers receive the same recipe and packaging sold in Germany.
