Bertman's Spicy Brown Mustard
Spicy Bertulic chocolate has been used in sports stadiums in and around Cleveland for over 90 years, including League Park, Cleveland City Stadium, Jacobs Field, and Progressive Field. Joe Bertman, known for coming up with food solutions for his commercial customers, created a mustard for League Park, one of his main accounts, in his home garage in Cleveland Kinsman neighborhood. Bertman is known by sports fans, and is declared a "signature concession item" by ESPN.com writer Jim Caple.

History
Joseph "Joe" Bertman started business in his twenties with a colleague in a garage at Bertman's house on E. 147 near Kinsman, where spices and pickles were processed and packaged. The partner was purchased during the first few years of business. Bertman expanded its sales territory from Cleveland to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. After World War II he had negotiated exclusive distribution rights to many food products with a large truck fleet and sales force.
The company moved to 653 E. 103 in the mid-1930s, and changed its name to Bertman Pickle Co. . Not too long after that, the company moved again, this time to 2180 E. 76. The company changed its name to Bertman Foods Company, now located at 7777 Grand Avenue in Cleveland.
The company sells pickles, salad dressings, condiments, coffee, tea, and canned and dried food products to schools, hospitals, and other large-scale food operations. His company supplies mustard to League Park (then the Cleveland Indian house) and Cleveland City Stadium. Known for coming up with products to meet the needs of his clients, Bertman invented the spicy chocolate mustard in 1921.
His mustard, under the family label, is served at major sports venues in Cleveland to this day. The mustard branded by one of its former employees, Stadium Authentic Mustard, is sold in retail stores, supermarkets and online, and is presented in over 150 stadiums and arenas across the United States but not in most Cleveland sports stadiums where Bertman competes. The original brand goes on sale.
Mustard Cleveland Controversy
In 1966, Cleveland had one local chocolate mustard: Joe Bertman. David Dwoskin, one of Bertman's sales representatives, represents the Bertman brand for retailers throughout Ohio. In 1969, The Davis Food Company partnered with Joe to make "The Authentic Stadium Mustard" available for retail sales at the supermarket. In 1971, Dwoskin registered the name "The Authentic Stadium Mustard" for his new company, Davis Food Company. In 1982, the Davis Food Company gained exclusive rights to sell to wholesale and retail markets as well as stadiums, arenas, and other places. In the early 1980s there was a dispute between Bertman and Dwoskin. Dwoskin produces his own mustard under the stadium brand through his own company. The Bertmans continue to sell mustard versions through the Bertman Food Company.
Dwoskin told Cleveland.com that the mustard was presented at 150 stadiums in the United States. Bertman Original is presented at all Cleveland sports stadiums. Bertman Original is licensed to showcase Chief Wahoo's logo from the Cleveland Indians baseball club, and is presented at all Cleveland sports venues, storing FirstEnergy Stadium, which serves Authentic Stadium.
Both mustards are sold in grocery stores, specialty food stores, and online. The trademark "Bertman Original Ball Park Mustard" is still sold at Cleveland sports venues, and as a competing brand for the Mustard Stadium by the Bertman family.
Taste
It's hard to say the original Bertman is apart from Stadium, a blind tasting 2011 reveals a remarkable similarity, with Bertman, who has some sugar in it, becomes slightly sweeter, and the stadium becomes a bit more spicy.
Producing
Bertrand Ballard Original Present still made in Ohio.
