Specs: Specialty-foods producer, Stonewall Kitchen (based in Maine), blends together smooth, thick Dijon mustard with “natural blue cheese flavoring.” Sold in glass jars, it’s available in 3.5 and 7.75-ounce sizes.
Preparation summary: Ready to use
High points: Dijon and blue cheese peacefully co-exist in this zippy condiment, which not only performs well on sandwiches, but also sings to pate, meat roasts, and tuna and chicken salads. Because the flavor is more robust than regular Dijon mustard, you’d be mistaken to use it as a straight-up dip. The thick texture makes it tempting, but don’t do it. Go sparingly and happiness will ensue.
Low points: The price carries an air of uppity New England as the cost pretty much exceeds all other brands of mustard out there.
Average retail price: $3.95 (for 3.5 ounces) and $6.50 (for 7.75 ounces)
Availability: Gourmet food shops, Amazon and Stonewall Kitchen’s website.
