Svendborg Sennepsfabrik Danish Cognac Mustard 250 g

Mustard for charcuterie, marinades and good conversation. It says so right on the jar, and few mustards promise that much of an evening.

Expert description

Svendborg Sennepsfabrik Cognac Mustard is a fine-ground Danish mustard made from brown and yellow mustard seeds, rounded off with cognac, dark syrup and spices, and made by Svendborg Sennepsfabrik.

Where the Medieval Mustard is coarse and weighty, this one is ground fine and smooth. It comes in a jar with a cork stopper and is made in Svendborg.

Taste notes

Tasting experience

The label describes the taste as a sweet, south-western French evening mood, and that fits. The mustard is sweet and round, with cognac and dark syrup as the warm base under the mustard seeds.

Serving & Pairing Suggestions

The producer points to charcuterie, sauces and marinades. Put the jar out with sausage, pâté and cheese, stir a spoonful into a sauce, or use it as the base for a meat marinade. If you want to know more about the cognac itself, read our guide Bliv klogere på cognac.

You will find the Medieval, Mead and Wild Garlic varieties in our range of Danish Mustard.
