Ghent mustard from Tierenteyn-Verlent is drawn fresh from a wooden barrel in the 1790 Groentenmarkt shop: sharper and more aromatic than any industrial version, used in stoverij and across Flemish kitchens.

Tierenteyn-Verlent has occupied the same shop on the Groentenmarkt since 1790, making Ghent mustard from Belgian mustard seeds ground on traditional stone wheels. The shop has survived revolutions, industrial food production and two world wars without changing the recipe. The mustard's distinctive character comes from the stone grinding, which keeps the seeds cooler than industrial rollers, preserving the volatile aromatics. Locals bring their own jars for refills; the shop sells mustard by weight from the barrel.
