What it is
This is a classic Dijon mustard, a condiment made from ground mustard seeds, vinegar, water, and seasonings. It has a smooth texture and a distinct, tangy flavor profile.

How people cook with it
Dijon mustard is a staple in many kitchens, used to enhance a wide variety of foods. Its bold taste makes it a popular choice for both simple preparations and more complex recipes.
- Marinades for meats
- Dressings for salads
- Sauces for sandwiches
- Glazes for roasted vegetables
You can directly add this Dijon mustard to your cooking or use it as a finishing touch. It is excellent mixed into mayonnaise for a zesty aioli, or whisked into vinaigrettes for a sharp salad dressing. It can also be incorporated into pan sauces for chicken or fish, or spread thinly on bread for a flavorful sandwich base. For a simple yet effective glaze, combine it with honey or maple syrup and brush over pork or chicken during the last few minutes of roasting.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to yellow mustard, Dijon has a more complex flavor. It is less vinegary and offers a spicier, more pungent kick due to the type of mustard seeds used and the absence of turmeric for color. Its texture is also generally smoother and finer.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs alike appreciate Dijon mustard for its ability to elevate everyday meals.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store the remaining Dijon mustard in its original pouch in the refrigerator. Ensure the pouch is sealed tightly to maintain freshness and prevent the mustard from drying out. It should remain flavorful for several weeks when properly refrigerated.
