The Only Way To Store Mustard

Where to Store Mustard

For the definitive answer on the best place to store mustard once it’s opened, we checked in with Kevan Vetter, Senior Director Culinary, Executive Chef with McCormick & Company, Inc.

“The best practice for mustard is to refrigerate after opening,” Vetter tells Allrecipes. “The date stamped on the package is the date by which French’s recommends use to ensure optimal flavor, freshness, and consistent quality.”

For those who don’t want to spread a cold condiment onto warm dishes like hamburgers and hot dogs, Vetter has a pro tip to achieve the best flavor: refrigerated mustard can be portioned and allowed to reach room temp prior to consumption.

So there you have it, the best way to store mustard according to the pros. Make room in your fridge.
