Classic English Mustard is rich and creamy, yet not overly hot – a true representation of traditional English mustard with a perfectly balanced flavor. It is made using a classic recipe that combines blended mustard seeds, water, white wine vinegar, sugar, lemon juice, sea salt, and carefully balanced spices, with no artificial additives.
Its distinct character lies in the “classic warmth” of mustard, without the harsh burn – offering a smooth texture and a deep flavor that lingers on the palate. Ideal for a variety of culinary uses, it pairs beautifully with roasted meats and sandwiches, and also works wonderfully as a savory accent in baked goods – such as on pizza or in croissants – adding a mild, spicy touch.
Producer
Stokes Sauces is a renowned British brand recognized for its production of high-quality sauces and condiments. It was founded in 2004 by Rick Sheepshanks in the village of Rendlesham, Suffolk.
The idea stemmed from a desire to create a ketchup with a full, rich, and natural flavor - far from the usual mass-produced varieties. What began as a personal mission quickly evolved into a serious food business.
Today, Stokes Sauces offers a wide range of products including ketchups, mayonnaises, BBQ and brown sauces, chutneys, salad dressings, and seasonal specialties. Their flagship product, Real Tomato Ketchup, is widely regarded as one of the finest ketchups in the UK. All Stokes products are handmade in small batches, without rushing the process, and using carefully selected ingredients from trusted sources.
The brand avoids artificial flavors, colors, and preservatives, focusing instead on achieving a perfect balance of taste and texture in every jar and bottle. Today, Stokes Sauces exports its products to over 50 countries around the world.
Thanks to its blend of artisanal methods, dedication to flavor, and modern vision, Stokes has become synonymous with authentic, premium-quality British sauces.
