Today: removing air from jars :-)

Your mustard maker couldn’t have wished for a better end to this week’s public tasting. Our ‘I don’t like liquorice, but I’ve fallen in love with liquorice mustard’-community has gained another member.

Debbie and Derek from Dunfermline were rather clever. They recently picked up a mini-selection from the mustard shack and as they’d enjoyed the first two mustards so much, they popped round to the open tasting today to try the rest. Your mustard maker is so happy right now: firstly, that I didn’t let them down and secondly, that the ‘Slàinte Liquorice’ really doesn’t taste of Allsorts :-)

This is a message to anyone who thinks they don’t like liquorice: sometimes it’s not the taste of liquorice you don’t like, but something you associate with it… the community of converts will confirm this :-)

Thank you for all the lovely visits and comments. The next open tasting will take place on Monday (14th) and Tuesday (15th) next week from 11am to 4pm(-ish). The mustard shack is open 24/7

Today is an emotional and proud day for your mustard maker. Exactly nine years ago, a wild dream became reality. I sold the very first jars of my mustard.

Looking back at those days, I could never have imagined this incredible journey. When I first started, many people thought creating an artisan mustard business on the edge of the Atlantic was an eccentric idea… and I can still see some of those rolling eyeballs! But there was a vision: to create something pure, authentic and deeply connected. Today, the Mustheb jars travel from our small island community to food lovers all over the world.

People often ask me how a tiny, independent business survives and thrives for nearly a decade. For me, the answer has always been simple: stay true to yourself and never compromise on quality.

Every Jar is Personal: To this day, I still run this as a true small-batch, hands-on operation. The rhyth of my traditional granite stone mill grinding the organic seeds is the heartbeat of my kitchen. Every single jar is filled, sealed and labelled by my own hands.

Purely Organic: I have always refused to use artificial preservatives, fillers or fake flavours. Instead, I pair 100% organic mustard seeds with the finest ingredients I can source and a dash of my wild inspiration.

From day one, I wanted to push the boundaries of what mustard could be. Creating bold, unusual flavours like Slàinte Liquorice (which pairs so beautifully with smoked fish) or the gentle fiery Infernal Bliss was a gamble, but your adventurous palates proved me right! You didn't just want a condiment; you want a culinary experience.

To be recognised over the years with food awards, and even to be named one of the UK’s Top 100 Female Entrepreneurs, has been deeply humbling. But nothing compares to the joy of seeing someone smile when they taste my creations for the first time, leaving the mustard station with a "hmmmm, that was incredible!" on their lips.

Nine years in business is a beautiful milestone, but I didn't reach it alone. This anniversary belongs to all of you. Thank you to my neighbourhood who supported me from day one, to the locals who spread the mustard and the word, to the island visitors who stop by the iconic mustard shack at the roadside in Leverburgh and to my wonderful online community who order from afar. You are the reason my stone mill keeps grinding.

Thank you for being a part of my story and here is to many more years of peace, love & mustard from the Isle of Harris!

If you’ve been following this channel for a while, you know already that your mustard maker loves people in general and children all the more.

When Esme’s mum got out of the car, she pointed behind her and said, ‘I’ve got a mustard-obsessed one with me.’ And then Esme (left) came and smiled at me. Together with her friend Freya she tasted her way through the mustards and Esme’s eyes grew wider with every variety. 💛

They’re both nine years old and I think it’s brilliant when children are constantly encouraged to try new things. To that end, dear parents, you too must keep an open mind and must never project your own likes or dislikes onto your children ;-)

Here’s to all the wonderful children in this world. The world is yours!

The mustard station is closed today. Your mustard maker jumped into an emergency call for the community cafe what is on today. If you are in the area… Leverhulme Community Hub is your place to be for today - plenty of lovely home made bakings and a spiced curry tomato coconut soup 💛
