This C-T article looks at WNC-based companies making local sauces, jams, mustard, olive oil and munchie chips sold in Asheville groceries and restaurants:
(Love to see our resident foodie weigh in on these.)
- Lusty Monk Mustard (a Western Carolina history student discovered a Victorian mustard recipe, tried it at home, and started serving it with pretzels at the bar where she worked)
- Theros Olive Oil (get it at Greenlife)
- Imladris Farms (fifth-generation Fairview farm; you've had their jams at Sunny Point Cafe in Best Asheville)

I've tried and loved all of these. My fave is the Lusty Monk--which is getting rave reviews. I've seen recent write-ups on the spicy mustard in Mt. X, Atlanta's Creative Loafing, and Asheville's Verve Mag.
Also, you didn't mention the Ulli Mama's chocolate truffles--pricey, but amazing raw, organic chocolate.
People do write-ups on mustard?
I like mustard. A lot. I'm quite happy to be kept abreast of the latest comings and goings. Thank you.
Adam, meet Shad. Shad is a bit of a character, but he's cool. I promise.
Throw in another three thumbs up for the Lusty Monk mustard - you can always have it on pretzels at Dirty Jacks.

I'm hip to Shad... been around for awhile.
Carry on.

My personal, thrilling account of said mustard can now be found up on shewhoeats. Always up for a food challenge, any day.
I thought it was a legit question.
