German mustard is a broad term for the prepared mustards of Germany, which vary by region from mild and sweet (Bavarian-style) to sharp and hot (Düsseldorf-style); it is not one single standardized product. Düsseldorf mustard, sometimes sold under brand names such as Löwensenf, is a well-known regional style made with brown and black mustard seeds, vinegar, and spices, giving it a bold, pungent, slightly spicy flavor balanced by acidity. German mustards are a classic condiment for sausages, bratwurst, and other grilled meats, and are also used in marinades, glazes, salad dressings, sauces, and as a sandwich spread. They pair well with pork, beef, and sausage, as well as with sauerkraut, pickles, and herbs such as caraway and dill.
