What the AI looks for in German Mustard
- Heat grade on the label
- 'Scharf' or 'extra scharf' means hot, 'mittelscharf' means medium, and 'süß' means sweet Bavarian. German mustards are labeled by style, and the styles taste very different.
- Regional style
- Düsseldorf-style is smooth and sharp; Bavarian sweet is coarse and sugared. Pick the style to match the sausage you are serving.
Brands that matter
- Löwensenf: Düsseldorf mustard house.
- Händlmaier's: Sweet Bavarian specialist.
- Develey: Large Bavarian brand covering several styles.
- Kühne: Mainstream German brand.
What to avoid
- Buying 'German mustard' without checking whether it is sweet or hot.
