Trader Joe's Basil Mustard - Specialty Mustard Review

This stuff is pretty good. Then again, it's also one of the first fancy mustards I have reviewed, so my standards are kinda low. This is a review of Trader Joe's Basil Mustard from the Mustard Miscellany they offer. In case you didn't know, basil is a herb that tastes both sweet and savory, yet slightly minty. It also has a powerful smell of pepper and mint.

Trader Joe's Basil Mustard is a combination of spiciness and mustardiness, if that makes any sense. It has a sort of grainy texture, which adds to the depth that this mustard provides. The spicy flavor that this mustard has provides a nice kick. The variety of flavors and textures it possesses allows for a miscellany of uses- from sandwiches to eggs or something maybe? Do people do that? I bet it would be good. But it tastes good on sandwiches. Or off a spoon.

Another thing that this mustard has is a great jar. The ergonomically designed glass jar provides an opening for optimal mustard-spoonage. Plus, the jar holds a sizable amount of mustard, meaning you can lather it on all sorts of things until you run out.

The one on the right because I didn't take a picture.

If you like your mustard to have some heat and herb-y taste, I would definitely recommend this mustard. I'd give this a solid 9 basil leafs out of 10. I haven't broken into the next three quite yet, but stay tuned for them!
