What is the RotPot – all in one mustard starter kit?

The RotPot is a complete do-it-yourself kit that allows you to make the tastiest mustard at home like a true home lab technician with few resources. Watch, feel, smell and taste how your mustard transforms over time into a unique and personal product.

Mustard is not new, it is a spice of all times and all places. Jesus was already talking about it (see Matthew 13:31-32, Mark 4:30-32 and Luke 13:18-19).

Jesus spoke of the black mustard, but also common are the Sarepta mustard (Indian brown mustard), Dijon mustard, and especially the yellow mustard. The mustard seeds are mixed with water and/or vinegar, and depending on the desired coarseness, ground after one day or sooner. Furthermore, you season the mustard with salt, honey, spices such as turmeric – everything to taste. The color then varies from bright yellow to dark brown. The seed itself has a strong, sharp, and slightly bitter taste. The taste of mustard varies from sweet to spicy. Fermentation is added to the Rotpot to accentuate the flavor even more.

Is mustard always fermented?

Mustard is the product of various processes, both biochemical, enzymatic, and fermentation. Depending on the method of production, the emphasis is more on one or the other. The recipe for the Mustard RotPot is designed to stimulate the activity of yeasts, enzymes, and lactobacilli as much as possible.

RotPot is developed in Rotterdam and is made in a nearby sheltered workshop. The components are carefully selected, food-safe and endlessly reusable. The herbs and spices are purchased from certified organic suppliers whenever possible.
