The Tewkesbury Mustard Company – Established in 2013, ready for battle to keep Tewkesbury mustard true to its roots.

Hand making unique artisan products in a very small kitchen based on the edge of Tewkesbury in Gloucestershire, manufacturing on a small scale but forever expanding.

We are continuing a tradition that dates from before the 16th century, an artisan product that was famous throughout the land, mentioned in Shakespeare’s Henry IV, Part II. ‘He a good wit? Hang him baboon! His wit is as thick as Tewkesbury Mustard.”

Recommended in many old recipe books and by commentators over the following hundreds of years. Two factors gave Tewkesbury mustard its individuality: the infusion of horseradish & the manner in which it was sold: in ball form.

Tewkesbury mustard was reputedly the finest in England, but was only ever sold in the form of mustard balls until the 1850’s where it was sold by E Moore, Chemist and druggist, sold jars of his own mustard in the from his High Street shop in Tewkesbury Town.
