Herlocher Foods is the sole manufacturer of Herlocher's Dipping Mustard. The mustard was created by Charles C. Herlocher I from an old family recipe for the Train Station Restaurant in State College, Pennsylvania in the 1970s. Herlocher's Dipping Mustard became a coast-to-coast deli condiment staple in 1992, when Charles C. Herlocher II took over the nationwide distribution.
History
In February 1978, at the Train Station Restaurant in State College, Pennsylvania, the mustard dip and pretzel combination was becoming a big hit with the regular crowd. Soon customers began asking the Herlocher's for dip to enjoy at home. As soon as Herlocher's Dipping Mustard became available for "take-out", the word spread fast. Customers throughout the Northeast sent checks requesting Herlocher's Dipping Mustard. During this important time, the family had already begun producing Herlocher's Dipping Mustard in the kitchen.
Expansion began as popularity grew and Herlocher's Dipping Mustard became available throughout the east coast.
In 1997, Herlocher's Penn State Dipping Mustard was introduced and became a popular tailgate necessity. Herlocher Foods then introduced Herlocher's Ohio State Dipping Mustard label soon afterwards. Herlocher Foods realized it was time to expand the NCAA collegiate-labeled product offering. To date, the company has obtained trademark licensing from over 20 colleges and universities nationwide.
Products
Herlocher's Dipping Mustard comes in several different labels and sizes: 8 oz regular labels and 14.5 oz NCAA labels.
