4.3/ 5.0
★★★★☆
Introduction
Named for its founding year of 1810, this small Cologne workshop keeps the city's traditional mustard trade alive: millstones, wooden tubs and old seasoning tools still work, and visitors can watch mustard seeds travel from hopper to grinder to jar. The attached shop invites tasting across a range of flavours before you buy, with the classic mildly hot local recipe the favourite. It is less a museum than a flavorful market interlude, easy to attach to an old-town itinerary.
