 | | BREWERY KEEN AS MUSTARD ON NEW FLAVOURS FROM SHAKEN OAK | | | Heart of England fine foods (HEFF) | | 13/02/2008 | | | Witney-based Shaken Oak Products, a leading manufacturer of hand-made mustards and member of HEART of ENGLAND fine foods (HEFF), has joined forces with The Chiltern Brewery to produce two exclusive speciality mustards for sale in the Brewery’s shop.
A chance meeting between Bruce Young, proprietor of Shaken Oak Products, and Richard Jenkinson, founder of The Chiltern Brewery, which is based near Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire, led to an invitation by the brewery to make some sample mustards to complement its range of food products using Chiltern Brewery Beers.
After tasting a variety of sample mustards made using Chiltern Ale, Beechwood Bitter and hop-leaves, Richard’s sons Tom and George, who now run the Brewery, decided to choose Chiltern Ale & Garlic Mustard and Beechwood Hop-Leaf & Honey Mustard as the two best samples to develop and sell alongside their other beer-related products.
Chiltern Ale & Garlic Mustard is a medium-strength wholegrain mustard with a hint of garlic and liberal amounts of light and refreshing Chiltern Ale. It’s an excellent mustard to serve with cold meats and vegetable dishes, and also as an ingredient in sauces and salad dressings.
Beechwood Hop-Leaf Bitter & Honey Mustard is a stronger mustard using the brewery’s flagship bitter. A pinch of Fuggles hops and additional honey are added to the mustard mix to give a well-rounded and memorable taste. It’s the ideal accompaniment to cold meat pies, sausages and steak.
Bruce Young commented: “It’s been a very exciting venture for us to develop these mustards for The Chiltern Brewery which has a reputation for producing not only fine beers but also quality products to complement those beers.”
Tom Jenkinson, head brewer at The Chiltern Brewery added: “We are extremely pleased with the results produced by Bruce. He took considerable time to make unique and tasteful mustards using our beers and we’re really impressed with the flavours he’s achieved.” | |
