You may have heard that Middleton, Wisconsin is home to the National Mustard Museum. It’s a quirky little labor of love just outside Madison, but no one would be surprised to hear that you hadn’t yet made the pilgrimmage. But what if we told you that you could taste mustards from around the world – mustards with flavors you’d never even imagined before – and then buy and take home your favorites, you just might start planning a trip.
This odd and wonderful - and free - museum is located just outside of Madison and has more then 5,600 different types of mustard on display in the museum. There aren’t quite that many available for tasting and purchase, but it might be close.

The store here is home to aisles and aisles of different mustards, from fruit and champagne mixed ones, to imported mustards from around the world.

The folks here are incredibly friendly and incredibly dedicated to finding the perfect mustard for every palette.
