In 1914, Johanna Händlmaier created a recipe for a sweet Bavarian mustard, which today is principally consumed with Weißwurst and Leberkäse.
The name confuses as the spread does not contain any cheese (see also Leberkäse).
Leberkäse is said to have been invented in 1776 by the cook of Charles Theodore, Elector of Bavaria, although this story has been heavily contested.
