My sweetheart and I stumbled upon Kozlik's mustard while on a St. Lawrence Market Saturday afternoon date about a year ago. What drew us to the mustard shop were (of course) the free samples!
Kozlik's cooks up hot back bacon from the market right at their front counter and gives you to opportunity to try as many mustard types as you can handle with the bacon. For the vegetarians out there - pretzel sticks are also provided for dipping.
In terms of the mustards... There is definitely something for everyone!
My current personal favourite is the Curry mustard, while my sweetheart prefers the Bewitching Balsamic (a delicious mix of mustard and balsamic vinegar - which sounds strange, but is actually quite tasty).
There is something for everyone at Kozlik's - They have mustards that range from mild and sweet to extremely hot and spicy (like the XXX).
The mustards are also relatively inexpensive: $6 each or 4 for $20.
For the mustard lovers out there, this place is an absolute must :) -

I adore Kozlik's Canadian Mustard. Not only are they the best reason to visit St.Lawrence Market, they make quality delicious mustard and have excellent customer service. This Christmas I packed some of their mustards into my gift baskets and everyone was pleased. I kept a smoky flavour one for myself. The Dijon by Anton and Horseradish are both particularly tasty as well..

"Hoo-ah!"
I feel like Al Pacino who's found his girl in "Scent of a Woman." I've found my hot one that kicks!
Right now I'd have to say Kozlik's is the best mustard I've ever tried. Better than any flavored Maile's, Gulden's, Grey Poupon, French's, Heinz, better than Phillipe's (in Los Angeles). Okay, so I haven't tried that many world mustards. But still, this really stands out.
There are about 30 flavors to choose from and each bottle has a kick. There is no "mild". You want mustard, not mayo, right?
I wanted to try every flavor (the girl manning the stand was very cheery and helpful), but I only ended up trying about 8 of them.
Amazing Maple - Perfect mix of Canadian maple flavor with mustard bite. Highly recommended.
Sweet Russian - Another good mix of sweet with mustard bite. Highly recommended.
Balsamic, Figs and Dates - This one is a little milder than the Maple and the Russian. Bursting with figs and dates, it's more sweet than spicy, but it does have some spice. Highly recommended if you like your mustard more sweet to go with something that's already salty or spicy.
XXX Hot - Hot.
Really Hot - SUPER HOT! This is the most caliente mustard they have. My nose cleared and dried out in two seconds. Must've been the habeneros that are inside this primo mix. If you are seeking heat... you must get this.
Garlic - Solid.
Black Harp - Interesting... made with Guinness!
Bordeaux - I don't know what it is about this one, but it really stands out. Everyone that tasted this had to get it. Made with red wine vinegar. Highly recommended.
If you just want to try a couple bottles, I would recommend getting a bottle of the Amazing Maple and the Bordeaux. If you like super hot, you have to grab a bottle of the Really Hot. After that, it's all based on preference. The have cranberry, smokey, sherries & cherries, rosemary, lemon & basil... almost any flavor that you can think of.
These are great for gifts for your mustard fan. Mustard never goes bad (just add some vinegar if it gets dry)! Bottles are $6 each, or $5 each if you buy more four or more bottles. One of the great bargains in the city... my favorite foodie store in Toronto. -

I've been told that Kozlik makes over 32 different kinds of mustard. I've tried almost all of them. Each has their own flavour and unique qualities, although I would need to pick the Sweet and Smokey as my preference. The mustards are about $6.00 each, but you can get discounts if you buy in bulk.
It's all made in Toronto, which locally owned and sourced..happy for me! -

The best mustards of life. Of life, people. If you eat mustard, please go to Kozlik's at St.Lawrence Market, use 25 of their pretzels and sample as many as you can. And then buy some for home usage, I use the pop holder in my fridge as a mustard holder. For real. Your vinaigrettes, marinades, rubs, sauces, hot dogs, hamburgers, sandwiches and life will never be the same.

"What is like ice, but burns like fire?"
I think they got the riddle wrong in Turandot; the answer should be "Kozlik's mustard."
This was a must-stop during our Yelp tour of St. Lawrence Market. They have a bowl of pretzel sticks for you to sample about 10 different mustards. If you like sharp, intense pain shooting up your nostril, try the XXX Hot. My favorite was the Triple Crunch which starts off mild then burns slowly at the back of the throat. I also like the pop of the mustard seeds; kind of like a poor man's caviar.
Each 250-mL jar is $6; or four for $20. I only bought one jar but the nice mustard lady gave it to me for $5 because our Yelp group bought a total of four jars. Yay for group outings!
-------------------------UPDATE: January 18, 2010-------------------------
I made a mustard dipping sauce using Kozlik's Triple Crunch in place of the usual Maille whole-grain Dijon that I normally use and the S.O. says, "This sauce tastes better than the last time. Did you do something different?"
Yeah, Kozlik's. -

Here's something I'll bet you didn't know: Canada is the world's #1 producer of mustard. 90% of the world's mustard seeds are grown right here. Chances are if you're a mustard lover, you already know about Kozlik's stand in St. Lawrence Market. It's usually the stand that has the biggest hordes of unruly samplers crowding around it. They have over 25 types of mustard and I really wish they'd come out with a sampler pack because I don't need ten types of mustard in 250mL quantities.
They constantly have a sizzling pan of peameal bacon going that you can grip with toothpicks and dip into the various mustard sampler tins. I recently picked up four jars of mustard - some for myself and others for a special friend™ - and am really pleased with the sharp and tangy quality of the ones I picked: Amazing Maple, Honey Garlic, Dijon By Anton and German.
TIP: if you have the luxury of working from home or have a flexible schedule, avoid this place on Saturdays. It's just mayhem. Easily one of the busiest attractions in all of St. Lawrence Market.

As good as it gest is right in mustard land, best mustards in town! This from a girl that used to hate mustard as a child. Yucky, bright yellow gunk. You know the one.
But Kozlik's mustards are delish! My particular favourites are the orange ginger on a nice ham and aged cheddar grilled cheese or the niagara classic is great on a good grilled steak on it's own or mixed with some reduced balsamic. Next mustard purchase will be the dijon... love a mustard with a nice kick! -

Can't live without our Kozlik's!
Our favourite... the Market Mustard! I'm not sure I could pick between the rest, but a few that stand out are Amazing Maple, Lime and Honey, Bewitching Balsamic.
Lets not forget the horseradish and most amazing meat rub.
Go in and have a taste of them all - they have them set up to taste with peameal bacon or pretzel sticks.Listed in: Food & Grocery

I came across Kozlik's at the St. Lawrence market.
I enjoy good mustard, and Kozlik's certainly knows the game.
I bought several jars of various mustards from them... And now sadly I've ran out of all of them.
The XXX hot has a nice heat.
The honey lime mustard is soooo good and unexpected.
Extremely reasonably priced. Their jars are $6ish, and are huge. You'd pay twice that at most stores for a gourmet mustard that's probably not quite up to this caliber.
I know they sell them online, but I constantly think I need to go back to Toronto just for this mustard! -

Kozlik's is a good example of a toronto food institution perhaps more specifically a St. Lawrence Market institution as the stand is there every market day, doling out samples of mustard paired with pretzel sticks and canadian bacon to hordes of onlookers. Their mustards are legendary and have a solid mustardy kick to them. A good deal they have is that 4 mustards can be purchased for $20 which makes this a convenient gift for your foodie friends and relatives.
I'm a fan of the triple crunch mustard as I use this in a recipe off their website-it makes fried chickpeas sparkle with zing and punch! Their balsamic fig and dates does wonders for pork tenderloin and I've used their amazing maple to perk up a glazed salmon dish a few times. In short, Kozlik's is a true Canadian foodie gem-after all Canada is major mustard producer! -

I trust a family who've been making mustard for over 50 years. And my taste buds love them for continuing to make it.
Kozlik's mustard is a staple of St. Lawrence Market, and will soon become a staple of your diet. You'll notice the stand on the main level, with little ramekins of mustard and pretzels for you to sample the different flavours. Soon, you'll realize the extent of their flavour selection and how much you'll want to try each and every one.
They offer dozens of different mustards, from the sweet to the hot and spicy. Personally, I'm a fan of the hot, and their horseradish mustard makes my nose sting but I'm still obsessed. They have flavours like balsamic figs & dates, and raspberry mustard, as well as the hot russian and other savoury finds. They also carry mustard seeds that are sometimes harder to find, as well as a couple sauces and great gift ideas.
If you live in Toronto, and you like mustard, and you haven't tried Kozlik's...there is something wrong with you. If you're on vacation and stopping by the market, Kozlik's has a bunch of gift sets that would make great souvenir gifts that represent Toronto without needing a logo of a cartoon beaver. Plus who doesn't love edible gifts?
And if you need more proof that Kozlik's is amazing, just look at the fact that their stand in a market has expanded to restaurants and grocery stores all over the city. If you can't make it down to the market, you can pick up some mustard at Pusateri's, The Healthy Butcher, even Whole Foods got in on it. Or you could stop by Jamie Kennedy's Wine Bar or a dozen other restaurants -- they all carry them because they're in on the secret that Kozlik's makes mustard like no one else. And now you know too. -
