The Mountain Kick Story
Born in the Rocky Mountains Foothills
From my childhood days in France, where I'm from, I've always loved mustard. Mustard has been the indispensable table companion of most our meals. I even taught my daughter that mustard is a food group of its own. At first she found that silly, but today, she agrees!
Mustard is one of the oldest condiments used by humans. It has been found in pre-historic archeological sites in Europe. It brings flavor and color in a wide variety of foods and is used in many food cultures. There's no doubt that mustard, along with wine or beer, adds to the conviviality of a good table with family and friends.
​
Though there are plenty of well-established mustards nowadays, I felt that there was a need for a new mustard on our tables when, one day, I discovered the recipe of an old-style French mustard. Then and there, the Mountain Kick Mustard adventure began! My mission became to make the best mustard possible.​
My wife provided her patient and dedicated support. She sampled every batch, even the ones that did not turn out great and never saw the light of day. In those moments when I changed an ingredient, introduced a new element in my process, and lost a batch of mustard, I remembered this wisdom from Thomas Edison: "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." After countless trials, modifications, and tweaks to the recipe and process, we finally created a great mustard!
​
The first sign that we were on to something special with Mountain Kick Mustard came from my friend Max, who grew up in the southwest of France and has lived in Colorado for several decades. After sampling, he spontaneously exclaimed, "This reminds me of my grandmother's mustard from my childhood!"
​
Why is it great? People feel it at first taste. Exceptionally, for a mustard, it contains olive oil, another timeless gift of nature. Its unique blend of spices gives it a distinctive flavor --or kick--and it is made with water from the Rocky Mountains. Most ingredients are organically sourced, and it is a gluten free food.
​
What about the mule on our package? The mule is the best ambassador for a mustard with a kick and born in the foothills of the Rockies. Our defiant, clever, and kicking mule played an integral part in the history of the West. Mules are strong, hard working and smart animals. They hauled supplies for armies and miners, participated in the construction of the rail road, and were the preferred steeds of Buffalo Bill. It is even said that mules carried jet engines prototypes to the top of Pikes Peak, opening the doors to the US aerospace program.
​
Today, Colorado brings people from all horizons who are attracted by the greatness of the Western lifestyle. Colorado is the current frontier for a new age of discovery in sciences, space exploration, sustainability, community… and a new land for foodies!
Mountain Kick Mustard is for them!
