The key to a great Dijon is a balance of sharp and bright flavors: The strong tanginess from the vinegar should cut through the bitter bite of earthy mustard seeds and give way to a pleasant saltiness. Edmond Fallot’s premium version does just that, thanks to their high-quality ingredients and traditional grinding techniques. Its flavor is cleaner and earthier than basic yellow mustard because it's made with fresh-milled mustard seeds. Sharp, piquant and creamy, the mustard can act as the star of a dish (such as beef Wellington) or a great accompaniment for fish, meats, dressings and spreads. Plus, it’s packaged in a colorful and reusable vintage tin, making it a perfect gift for hosts or food lovers.
Since the 1840s, Beaune-based Edmond Fallot has used millstones to grind mustard seeds into a fine paste. La Moutarderie Fallot, their state-of-the-art factory, is one of the country’s few remaining mustard mills that follow the almost 200-year-old milling, grinding and sieving practices.
