In the early 1800s, Jeremiah Colman began making mustard at a water mill near Norwich. To create a tangy flavor, he blended brown mustard with white mustard. From 1855 the firm introduced its distinctive yellow packaging and bull’s head logo, and in 1866 was granted the Royal Warrant as manufacturers of mustard to Queen Victoria. In January 2018, Colman decided to leave its base in Norwich where the condiment has been produced for 160 years and move its production to Burton-on-Trent and Germany.
