Compared to yellow mustard, Dijon mustard offers a more refined and complex flavor profile. It typically has a sharper, more pungent taste and a smoother, finer texture due to the type of mustard seeds used and the grinding process. It generally contains less turmeric, which gives yellow mustard its bright color and milder taste.
