The Story of Plochman's Mustard
Plochman's started a long time ago, in 1852. It began as Premium Mustard Mills in the city of Chicago. Later, a chemist named Moritz Plochman bought the company. He had moved to America from Württemberg.
The Famous Barrel Bottle
A big change happened in 1957. That year, Plochman's began selling its mustard in the yellow squeeze barrel bottle we know today. This was a very important moment! It was the first successful squeeze condiment sold in the United States. This made it much easier for people to use mustard.
