Creamy honey mustard mayonnaise, sweet and sharp all at once
Stokes Mustard Honey Mayonnaise is a creamy honey-mustard mayonnaise made with Dijon and wholegrain mustard. Not a bland mass-produced product, no flat sweetness – sweet from the honey, sharp from the mustard, with whole mustard seeds that pop between your teeth.
Honey Mustard Mayonnaise from Stokes is a creamy mayonnaise from Suffolk, England, stirred from rapeseed oil, whole free-range eggs, honey, and two types of mustard. Sweet and sharp at the same time, with wholegrain mustard and fine Dijon. Lactose-free and gluten-free, rounded off with unrefined raw cane sugar. The Mustard Honey Mayonnaise, as it is called in the original, tastes the way a honey-mustard mayo should taste.
Sweet from honey, sharp from mustard
Rapeseed oil makes it creamy, honey sweetens it, two types of mustard provide the heat, and whole seeds provide the crunch.
It contains 55% rapeseed oil, plus 12% whole egg, wholegrain mustard and a spoonful of Dijon, honey and raw cane sugar for sweetness. Creamy, tangy, and velvety as it glides over the tongue, with a mustard heat that flashes briefly and then vanishes. This creates a balance that is neither too sweet nor too sharp. It loves savory companions and goes well with anything hearty.
In the jar, it is light and dense, speckled with yellow and black mustard seeds. A dollop is enough to turn a simple buttered sandwich into a little event. If you like it sweeter, you will notice more of the honey note; if you are looking for heat, add a dab of mustard.
Sweet and sharp joy in potato salad
The rich honey mustard mayonnaise goes well with chips and fried potato slices, in potato salad, and on a bacon sandwich.
It is right at home in potato salad, and it makes a great impression as a dip for vegetable sticks, as a sophisticated ingredient in salad dressing, or as a dollop served with cold roast meat and boiled ham. It is a given with burgers and chips, and anyone planning a fondue for New Year's Eve likes to place it among the dips. It also contributes its sweet-and-sharp note to oven-roasted vegetables, grilled corn, or a chicken wrap. Even simple fries become a small meal with it.
Alongside the standard Real Mayonnaise, it is the spicy sister, and the Real Tomato Ketchup likes to join the party at a barbecue. Further creamy varieties are ready for you on the mayonnaise shelf.
Stirred by Rick Sheepshanks in Suffolk
Stokes' whole story began in Suffolk, England, in 2004 with a good mayonnaise.
Founder Rick Sheepshanks first wanted an honest mayo; only later did the ketchup and all the other sauces follow. For the honey-mustard variety, Stokes stirs rapeseed oil with fresh eggs, sweetens with honey and raw cane sugar, and seasons with wholegrain mustard and Dijon. The eggs come from free-range chickens, and you can taste that in the rich, creamy color. No shortcuts, just as Rick has done from the beginning.
At Stokes, a simple rule has always applied: only real, natural ingredients and recipes from their own kitchen. In 2016, Rendlesham-based Stokes was counted alongside Apple and Spotify as one of Britain's Coolbrands; today, over 60 sauces leave the old stable kitchens. After opening, store the 217 ml jar in the refrigerator and consume the mayonnaise within about six weeks. More from Suffolk can be found in the Stokes assortment. This is how honey mustard should taste.
