Lusty Monk
Why the Monks Were Lusty
In medieval Europe, there was a belief that spicy foods could "warm the blood" and lead to lustful tendencies. Spicy foods were thought to have aphrodisiac qualities, including mustard. As a result, a few very strict orders of monks were forbidden to eat mustard, lest they fall prey to carnal desires. Other monasteries embraced mustard-making and turned it into an art form. We salute these “lusty monks,” and in that grand tradition, we handcraft our mustard in small batches, with all-natural ingredients that would make our monastic predecessors proud.
Lusty Monk is headquartered in Asheville, NC, and now has distribution throughout the Southeast. You can find the mustard in taprooms and restaurants and grocery stores in Western North Carolina and beyond.
