Mustard is one of the oldest known spices and has been used for centuries for everything from curing toothaches to preventing frostbite.
Here at Boetje’s Foods Inc. we’ve been supplying the Quad Cities and beyond with this tasty condiment since the late 1880s. The original owner, Fred Boetje, created the same recipe we still use today! And in fact, if you visit our Rock Island location, you will see we use the same 500 gallon wooden vat that we began using in 1928.
Over the last couple of decades we have been privileged to win several awards and receive some truly wonderful recognition. We have placed multiple times in the Worldwide Mustard Competition, had a day in Rock Island officially designated as Boetje’s Mustard Day, and even received a hospitality award from our local Quad Cities Convention bureau. You can see a list of the awards here: http://box5380.temp.domains/~boetjefo/about-boetjes/awards .
Boetje’s Mustard has been flown across the world and received rave reviews. We once asked our Facebook Friends how far they’ve taken or sent the mustard and the results were truly outstanding! It seems that once the flavor gets noticed, friends and family worldwide keep asking for more.
Thank you to all our customers for keeping Boetje’s alive and well. We promise to keep bringing you tasty products and delicious recipes to try them with.
