Tierenteyn Mustard
An artisan mustard variety with a long tradition, dating back to 1790, tierenteyn mustard or tierenteyn-verlent mustard is made with a selection of mustard seeds that are finely ground before they are mixed with vinegar and salt. Entirely free from any preservatives, this condiment is characterized by a smooth and yellow-golden texture with a distinctly sharp and tangy flavor derived from the dark mustard seeds used in the preparation.
Always fresh and never more than three days old, this quintessential product of Ghent is exclusively prepared and sold in a shop located on the Groentenmarkt. Buying the mustard is a unique experience in itself as the fresh mustard is typically ladled from a large barrel into traditional stoneware jugs with the company’s signature and the year 1790 written on them.
The sharp-flavored mustard is usually smeared over slices of bread and paired with thin slices of local Ganda ham, or with different types of cheese, meat-based dishes, or pâtés. It is also used to flavor various traditional dishes such as carbonnade flamande.
