History
This mustard business was founded by Fred Boetje in Rock Island, Illinois in 1889. The founder made his Dutch Mustard from an Old World recipe and delivered it door to door, filling buyers' containers for one nickel. The company grew over the years, manufacturing various relishes, sauces, and horseradish, but Dutch Mustard remained the company's mainstay. The Boetje family sold their interests in 1960. The present owners acquired Boetje Foods, Inc. from Leon Wernentin in 1983. Boetje's Dutch Mustard is made from all natural ingredients -- no artificial preservatives or colorings. Imported from Canada, our brown mustard seed, blended and marinated with other ingredients, results in a clean, sharp-tasting mustard that has no equal on the market. Today, Boetje's Dutch Mustard is manufactured in our Rock Island plant.
