Classic Dijon Excellence.
This classic dijon is smooth, vibrant and adds the perfect tang to sandwiches, vinaigrettes and sauces. A real treat basted on a bone-in ham! An absolute staple in your mustard arsenal.
What makes it Dijon:
Dijon mustard originates from Dijon, France, and it's characterized by its smooth texture, pale color, and sharp, clean flavor. Unlike ballpark yellow mustard, Dijon brings sophistication and versatility. It's the mustard you reach for when you want to elevate a dish, not just add yellow color.
Smooth and vibrant:
The smooth texture of French Style Gourmet Mustard means it emulsifies beautifully in dressings and sauces, spreads evenly on sandwiches, and creates silky marinades. "Vibrant" isn't just about color — it's about bright, lively flavor that wakes up your palate without overwhelming it. This is mustard with finesse.
The perfect tang:
Tang is what separates good mustard from great mustard. Too much tang and it's harsh. Too little and it's boring. French Style Gourmet Mustard hits that perfect balance — enough acidity to cut through rich foods and brighten flavors, but balanced enough to let other ingredients shine.
Perfect for sandwiches:
-
Deli classics: Turkey, ham, roast beef — all better with Dijon
-
Grilled chicken: The tang complements grilled poultry perfectly
-
Cheese sandwiches: Especially with Swiss, gruyere, or aged cheddar
-
Paninis: Essential for Italian-style pressed sandwiches
-
Burgers: When you want sophisticated burger flavor
In vinaigrettes:
Dijon mustard is the secret weapon in classic vinaigrettes because it acts as an emulsifier (helps oil and vinegar stay mixed) while adding flavor:
-
Classic vinaigrette: Dijon + olive oil + red wine vinegar + garlic = perfection
-
Honey mustard dressing: Mix with honey, oil, and lemon juice
-
Balsamic vinaigrette: Dijon helps balance balsamic's sweetness
-
Herb vinaigrette: Add fresh herbs to basic Dijon vinaigrette
In sauces:
-
Cream sauces: Add depth to alfredo, béarnaise, or cream sauces
-
Pan sauces: Deglaze with wine, add Dijon for instant sophistication
-
Cheese sauces: Enhances mac and cheese or fondue
-
Mustard sauce: The base for classic French mustard sauce for pork or chicken
Basted on bone-in ham:
Here's where French Style Mustard really shines. Brush it on ham during the last 30 minutes of baking and watch it create a glossy, tangy glaze that complements the ham's sweetness and salt. Add a bit of brown sugar or honey to the mustard for next-level holiday ham.
How to use it:
-
As a spread: On any sandwich that deserves better than yellow mustard
-
In dressings: The foundation of countless vinaigrettes
-
In marinades: Adds tang and helps tenderize meat
-
As a glaze: Brush on ham, pork chops, or chicken
-
In deviled eggs: Replace yellow mustard for sophisticated eggs
-
With cheese: Essential for any respectable cheese board
Why it's an arsenal staple:
If you could only have one mustard in your refrigerator, French Style Dijon would be the smart choice. It works across breakfast (in egg dishes), lunch (sandwiches and salads), dinner (sauces and glazes), and appetizers (cheese boards and deviled eggs). It's refined enough for dinner parties, practical enough for Tuesday night chicken. That's why it's a staple.
Pro tips:
- Always add Dijon to vinaigrettes before adding oil — it helps emulsify
- Room temperature Dijon spreads more easily than cold
- Mix with mayonnaise for an elevated sandwich spread
- Add a spoonful to mashed potatoes for sophisticated mashers
- Use in place of yellow mustard in any recipe that could use more sophistication
From Julia Child's French kitchen to your everyday meals, French Style Gourmet Mustard brings classic elegance and versatile flavor to everything it touches.
