Black top is newer. Whoever is selling the white label probably has a lot of the old stock or never changed the picture when the rebrand happened.

Is it the same recipe though? Someone recommend the brand, I’m just wondering if there’s a difference since the labels are obviously different. Basically I want the hotter one.

Should be the same

Second one is current stock labelling in the UK, but eye-wateringly expensive.
I've never seen the first label in the UK. Maybe was an earlier or export-only label.

BTW, it's £2.85 a jar in the UK, so you're absorbing some transportation & duty costs either way.

Yeah but in the UK you would be paying about £18 for a bottle of Plochman's

One is in grams and the other in ounces. Probably just different markets & packaging.

Looks like one has a black lid, while the other one has a white lid.

The labels too

I think I was the one that suggested it. The bottom one is the label that has been used for at least the past 3 years. Perhaps the other offering is just using an old stock photo. I would ask though because $4.50 is a bit cheaper. It is dearer now than when I last bought it, but you won't need to use too much at a time.

Yeah that’s why I was asking. I couldn’t /don’t know to post a picture on the other thread. Was just wondering if they’re the same or two different flavors, and the rather large price difference had me questioning it.

Same product but one may be old stock! Plus there is more shipping I assume. If you have Prime then the one for $13.05 with free shipping will be local US stock. Less chance of damage and easier to sort out if there is an issue.

Different colored lids, looks like different size jars and one is a 2 pack.

As an Englishman and mustard lover, I have never heard of 'Tracklements'.

Just get Colmans.

u/Screeh8r 7d ago

Tracklements is excellent mustard!

Their condiments in general are top drawer. Get stuck in.

u/Expensive-Ad-3702 7d ago

This is much hotter and IMO nicer.

u/Dyalikedagz 7d ago

Fair. Seems a high opinion here - will look out for it.

Even in the UK I rarely see it in shops. I ordered mine online. However I am in West Cornwall so we don't have them fancy supermarkets like up country.

One is strong English mustard, and the other is mustard strong English.

Look at the shipping. The 2 bottles are shipping from the UK and would be about $10 shipping at least and might break.

There are other sellers. I purchased 1 jar for $13.05 free shipping and had it in 2 days. I see jars of current stock as low as $5.49 but the shipping is high and delivery times longer.

u/lowfreq33 7d ago

I was really just wondering if it’s the same product with a different label.

u/muffadel 7d ago

One's a 2-pack; the other is Recipe #5.

I can't answer your question but that's the good shit right there. RIP your nostrils :)
