\"dijjon<\/a>Dijon<\/strong> is famed for its mustard (Moutarde de Dijon) and hence it comes as a shock to hear that the company Maille is closing its mustard factory in Dijon<\/strong> (21 Cote d’Or, Burgundy). Whilst that is sad for the 300 or so workers, it does transpire that in any case most Dijon mustard is made outside Burgundy; that Maille is owned by multi-national conglomerate Unileve; and that surprisingly Dijon mustard is not covered by any “Appellation Controllee”, which would otherwise protect the name from being used elsewhere or for non-standard products.<\/p>\n

Dijon mustard is essentially a blend of brown and white mustard seeds mixed with wine vinegar. Purists argue that only wine vinegar made from good wine will do, and that cheaper wines produce poorer mustards.<\/p>\n

Generally if a mustard is called “a l’Ancienne” it is a wholegrain mustard as distinct from a smooth mustard which tends to affect the texture rather than the taste.<\/p>\n

The other well-known French mustard is from Meaux<\/a><\/strong> (77 Seine et Marne, Ile de France) the same area as the Brie de Meaux cheese – unfortunately they do not go well together! Here Pommery produce a mustard with additional spices (secret recipe of course) as a wholegrain mustard in distinctive earthenware crocks with a cork stopper – always looks good on the table.<\/p>\n

Maille still has a boutique shop in Dijon at 32, rue de la Libert\u00e9 – and one in Paris at 6, place de la Madeleine
\nin the 8th arrondisement – close to those other foodie meccas of Fauchon <\/a>and Hediard.<\/a><\/p>\n

For more info on Maille, its range of products and shops see http:\/\/www.maille.com<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

English mustard is ground mustard seed which is made into a paste often with just water, or sometimes beer or cider. It is much hotter than French mustard, and the best known example is Coleman’s in the bright yellow tin – Colemans is also owned by Unilever!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
