"Hoo-ah!"
I feel like Al Pacino who's found his girl in "Scent of a Woman." I've found my hot one that kicks!
Right now I'd have to say Kozlik's is the best mustard I've ever tried. Better than any flavored Maile's, Gulden's, Grey Poupon, French's, Heinz, better than Phillipe's (in Los Angeles). Okay, so I haven't tried that many world mustards. But still, this really stands out.
There are about 30 flavors to choose from and each bottle has a kick. There is no "mild". You want mustard, not mayo, right?
I wanted to try every flavor (the girl manning the stand was very cheery and helpful), but I only ended up trying about 8 of them.
Amazing Maple - Perfect mix of Canadian maple flavor with mustard bite. Highly recommended.
Sweet Russian - Another good mix of sweet with mustard bite. Highly recommended.
Balsamic, Figs and Dates - This one is a little milder than the Maple and the Russian. Bursting with figs and dates, it's more sweet than spicy, but it does have some spice. Highly recommended if you like your mustard more sweet to go with something that's already salty or spicy.
XXX Hot - Hot.
Really Hot - SUPER HOT! This is the most caliente mustard they have. My nose cleared and dried out in two seconds. Must've been the habeneros that are inside this primo mix. If you are seeking heat... you must get this.
Garlic - Solid.
Black Harp - Interesting... made with Guinness!
Bordeaux - I don't know what it is about this one, but it really stands out. Everyone that tasted this had to get it. Made with red wine vinegar. Highly recommended.
If you just want to try a couple bottles, I would recommend getting a bottle of the Amazing Maple and the Bordeaux. If you like super hot, you have to grab a bottle of the Really Hot. After that, it's all based on preference. They have cranberry, smokey, sherries & cherries, rosemary, lemon & basil... almost any flavor that you can think of.
These are great for gifts for your mustard fan. Mustard never goes bad (just add some vinegar if it gets dry)! Bottles are $6 each, or $5 each if you buy more four or more bottles. One of the great bargains in the city... my favorite foodie store in Toronto.
