Maille Dijon Originale: creamy, sharp Burgundy mustard from cut brown mustard seeds, for vinaigrettes, chicken and fish.
Maille Dijon Originale is named after Dijon, the home of French mustard, and traces back to Maille's founding in 1747. In 1845 the brand opened its boutique in Dijon, in the heart of Burgundy, which still welcomes food lovers today. The mustard is made with finely cut Brassica juncea seeds, which Maille says gives a depth of taste that is never one-dimensional, with a creamy texture, spicy taste and smooth finish. That combination is why chefs use Dijon as a working ingredient rather than only a condiment. Maille's own suggestions are to spread it on sandwiches, whisk it into a mustard vinaigrette, and cook it into chicken and fish recipes, and it is a classic partner for red meat. It also gives body to marinades and adds a gentle bite to cheese sauces and gratins. Mustard is an allergen. Store cool and refrigerate once opened.
