Gourmet Mustard Gift Set: Elevate Any Meal With These Delicious Jars

Grey Poupon’s classic Dijon still delivers a bold, balanced bite with a smooth, spreadable texture and mild heat that worked wonders in vinaigrettes during our review. The resealable squeeze bottle is budget-friendly and handy for quick sandwiches, though the shift away from a glass jar and lack of certified gluten-free labeling dim its gift appeal. Scoring 6.5/10, it’s a practical $4.19 staple for everyday cooking rather than a showpiece. If you want a more artisanal vibe, Bornier’s higher-rated French jar feels special.

Our top-rated choice at 10/10, Pommery Meaux Mustard, crafted in Meaux, France, feels like a gift the moment you see the stoneware crock. In our testing, the coarse, grainy texture and medium heat added punch to charcuterie, steaks, and vinaigrettes without overwhelming, and it’s gluten-free. The wax-sealed cork can be stubborn at first, but it preserves freshness and looks fantastic on a table. Compared with Maille’s 9.5/10 variety pack, this wins on presentation and whole-grain bite for true gourmet appeal.

Our top-rated choice at 8.5/10, Bornier Wholegrain Dijon earned its stripes in our testing with authentic Dijon-region pedigree and delightfully crunchy mustard seeds. The grainy texture and medium heat bring bright tang to charcuterie, cheeses, roasted sausages, and vinaigrettes, and its award-winning reputation backs the flavor. It’s gluten-free and gift-worthy, though the 7.4 oz jar can feel pricey for frequent users. Note that ingredient lists may vary slightly by seller, but we found the classic wholegrain character consistent.

This Mustard Trio is a crowd-pleaser for gifting and tastings, earning an 8/10 in our testing for approachable flavors and real variety from the Netherlands. Honey, Garlic, and Devil’s bring smooth texture and mild baseline heat, with Devil’s whole seeds and chili adding a noticeable kick, and the set is gluten-free. The 45 g jars are compact and disappear quickly, and certifications like kosher or organic aren’t listed. At $16.95, it’s an easy way to sample styles before investing in full-size jars.

From Petoskey, Michigan, American Spoon’s Honey Mustard won a strong 7.5/10 in our testing thanks to Northern Michigan wildflower honey that gives a pronounced, floral sweetness. Its thick, creamy texture spreads beautifully on sandwiches and cheese boards and doubles as a dipping sauce, with a balanced medium heat. While gluten-free and gift-worthy, the $13.95 price is higher than mass-market jars, and some tasters found it sweeter or a touch spicier than expected. For a honey mustard, it feels decidedly artisan.

We reach for Stonewall Kitchen’s Our Mustard Collection when we want American-made, stone-ground character in a giftable set. In our testing, the four flavors—Honey, Caramelized Onion, Maine Maple Champagne, and Horseradish—delivered grainy texture and medium heat that stand up to burgers, charcuterie, and vinaigrettes, earning an 8.5/10. Note the wheat and soy allergens and gluten labeling, and some jars lean toward a tangy Dijon base. At $27, it’s stronger value than small-jar samplers like McEvoy Ranch (6.5/10).

For cooks who like to customize, Colman’s Dry Mustard Powder packs a hot, concentrated punch that our experience shows transforms dressings, cheese sauces, and spice rubs with just a pinch. Made in the UK and gluten-free, the smooth powder also lets you whisk up prepared mustard to your preferred strength. Its 4 oz tin, however, runs out quickly and can arrive dented if shipped roughly, which hurt its gifting appeal in testing. We scored it 5.5/10 for versatility over presentation.

For a Bavarian twist, händlmaier’s Sweet Mustard brings smooth texture and mild heat that pair beautifully with Weisswurst, pretzels, and roasted sausages. We found the distinctive sweetness delightful with pork, though during our review some tasters wanted more bite, giving it a 7/10 overall. It’s labeled gluten-free and a good value around $4.69, but availability can be spotty and occasional shipping issues (loose lids) pop up. Consider this when you want authentic German flavor without overwhelming spice.

These World Market Edmond Fallot minis are perfect for charcuterie trays and tastings, with four distinct flavors—Dijon, Honey & Balsamic, Blackcurrant, and Seed Style—in grainy, mild profiles. In our review, the .88 oz jars made sampling fun but vanished quickly, and the blackcurrant can be polarizing, explaining the 6/10 score. Note that the set contains wheat and isn’t gluten-free. For better value and larger portions, the Fallot Sampler Tray (8/10) or Stonewall Kitchen set (8.5/10) serve guests more comfortably.

For sweet-heat fans on a budget, Inglehoffer’s Sweet Hot Mustard is a tasty pantry staple, though it’s our lowest scorer at 5/10 for gifting. We found the smooth, hot, honey-forward profile great for pretzels and sausages, but during our review it overwhelmed milder cheeses and deli meats. It contains wheat and isn’t gluten-free, which limits who can enjoy it. At $4.89 from Oregon, it’s enjoyable everyday mustard, but for a gift set we’d step up to higher-rated, more nuanced options.

Sweet-and-spicy fans will appreciate Beaver Sweet Hot Mustard’s honeyed profile and smooth texture, which we found handy as a condiment, dip, or even a quick glaze. However, during our review its unexpectedly assertive heat and wheat-based recipe stood out, making it a tricky add for gluten-avoiders and gentler palates. At $32.48 and often sold in bulk foodservice sizes, it’s better for parties than polished gift sets. With a 5/10 score, we’d steer gifters toward higher-rated jars like Bornier or American Spoon.

Gift-ready and charming, this Mini Gourmet Mustard Gift Pack from Sonoma’s McEvoy Ranch shines in presentation and provenance. In our testing, the trio—Chardonnay, Sweet & Spicy, and Honey—delivered smooth, medium-heat versatility that worked on sandwiches, cheese boards, and dressings, plus it’s gluten-free. The tradeoff is size: these tiny 2–2.5 oz jars disappear fast, and at $27 the value trails higher-scoring sets like Stonewall Kitchen (8.5/10). Still, its 6.5/10 rating fits hostess gifts and small households wanting a tasteful sampler.

Looking to sample real Dijon without committing to full jars? During our review, the Edmond Fallot Sampler Tray from Beaune (Burgundy) scored a solid 8/10 for authentic, smooth, medium-heat mustards in handy 3.5 oz sizes. We loved the variety, but our experience shows some flavors can be polarizing, and certain jars list allergens like gluten, nuts, or sulfites. It’s a smart, affordable $9.99 way to discover French classics, though heavier users may prefer larger formats or our higher-rated gift packs.

Rounding out our top picks, the Edmond Fallot Mustard Gift Pack earned a 9/10 for its Burgundian pedigree and creamy, mild Dijon made with traditional stone-grinding. In our testing, the three distinct flavors paired effortlessly with cheeses, roast chicken, and sandwiches, and the set is gluten-free. Some buyers find Fallot milder than sharper Dijons, and several varieties list tree nuts or sulfites—so check labels. If Pommery wins for presentation, this delivers classic French finesse at a giftable $30 price.

Maille’s Gourmet Variety Pack earned a stellar 9.5/10 in our testing, making it a top pick for variety-focused gifting just behind our 10/10 crock champion. Four French flavors in smooth, medium-heat squeeze bottles are convenient for picnics, charcuterie, and weeknight sandwiches, even if not gluten-free. We found some batches a touch sharper and more pungent, which spice lovers appreciated. The premium price is justified by the brand’s depth of flavor and the practical packaging that keeps counters and gift boxes tidy.
