A Merry Christmas from Colman's!


Few food brands have a history as rich as Colman’s (www.colmansusa.com).  Our company’s English Mustard was first produced in Norfolk, Britain, back in 1814 and quickly became a staple on British dinner tables. In 1866, founder Jeremiah Colman was appointed mustard-maker to Queen Victoria and, just 14 years later, the high-quality product—in its distinctive red and yellow tin—was introduced to the United States, where it’s been at the heart of American dinnertime since. Naturally, it’s also become America’s go-to condiment for family Christmas feasts adding its legendary kick to most any holiday entrĂ©e.

From the very beginning, we've harvested only the finest mustard seeds.  Today Colman’s is still grown and milled in Norfolk, remaining true to the time-honored traditions that have turned this product into the spicy mustard of choice, worldwide, for nearly 200 years. As a matter of fact, every minute of the day, 45 jars of Colman’s Mustard are purchased in different locations across the globe.

Colman’s English Mustard provides a pure, spicy compliment to a wide variety of holiday staples, from ham and turkey to soups, stews and salad dressings. For example, use Colman’s English Mustard when you prepare your baked holiday ham and sweet potato mustard mash (see cooking instructions below). Or take a peek at 
www.colmansusa.com for a list of mouthwatering recipes.

Pass the Mustard, Please!

Colman’s makes getting in shape easier than ever with gourmet condiments.


Fitness fans looking to build muscle and get lean in the coming year should reach for the mustard. New research from the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) reveals that a steroid found naturally in the mustard plant increases muscle mass along with the number and size of muscle fibers.[1] And here’s another health perk: mustard, and especially Colman’s globally trusted brand (www.ColmansUSA.com), can be infused into any type of cuisine to help you cut calories without having to skimp on flavor.

According to CNN Health’s 10 Spices and Herbs That Aid Weight Loss, research shows that as little as one teaspoon of mustard can raise metabolic rates by nearly 25%.[2] With such a versatile mustard as Colman’s, adding just one teaspoon can be as simple as preparing a spicier salad dressing or creating a flavorful honey mustard dipping sauce for fresh vegetables or lean meats.

Colman’s products are made from a blend of
brown (Brassica Juncea) and white (Sinapis Alba) mustard seeds that are grown locally in Norwich, England and processed at the Carrow factory on the outskirts of Norwich, England.
