'More than 260 years ago, in the small town of Dijon, France, Master Antoine Maille, known as the greatest mustard and vinegar-maker of alltime, founded the house of Maille, and created a superb mustard--Maille Dijon Originale. Today , Maille still manufactures its mustards in Dijon, and still remains faithful to its founder's original core values-- Diligence, Excellence, and Authenticity'.


'Antoinne Maille according to one of his contemporaries "Made an Art out of an Industry". The teqniques developed by this "Condiment Artist", which he recorded in his own personal recipe book, still form the basis of our expertise today'.

Mustard is one of my favourite condiments. It is extremely versatile and it gives seriously good flavour to a huge variety of foods. I am particularly fond of the course grain mustard with its fantastic depth of unique flavour and I like a good, strong British Mustard also, such as Colman's. But Maille Dijon Mustard is probably the one that I would reach for first when wanting smooth texture mustard, and one with a good, hot flavour to it. The taste of meat quite often benefits from the 'bite' of a good mustard and I like to smear some course grain over a nice fillet steak, before adding a little red wine and a spoonful of fromage frais. It tastes absolutely divine and the kick of the mustard compliments the quality cut of the fillet steak well.

The product comes in an expensive looking jar of a high quality' It is nicely rounded with a black and gold screw-top lid and an attractive complimentary label, which states that Maille Dijon Originale Mustard is traditional mustard. It is mid brown in colouring and has a creamy, pasty texture to it with the tiny pieces of the mustard grain showing through the jar. Hailing from France since 1747, with 260 years of expertise; the jar contains 215g and benefits from refrigeration once opened and should be used within one month of opening.


This is a quality product which I feel is exceptional value. Mustard is a wonderful condiment and accompaniment to food. I put a little in my macaroni and cauliflower cheese sauce and it gives the taste of the cheese a really rich and interesting flavour with a good' bite' to it' Also cheese on toast benefits from a light smearing of the Maille mustard, What it does is liven up your food, gives it an individual flavouring. There are many uses for mustard and on the Maille Website you will find some excellent recipes which feature some of the uses for this versatile condiment. -

Maille Dijon Originale Traditional Mustard is excellent. It compliments meat beautifully. It is quite hot, but not overly so. It has the right amount of 'bite' for me with no strong or lingering aftertaste. It is a great accompaniment to a variety of dishes and it has a delicious quality of flavour. Maille do a wide range of mustards - Vinegars - Oils - Mayonnaises - Salad Dressings - Pickled Gherkins, all with their own unique flavourings blended and developed by Master condiment makers.-


"Maille Dijon Originale is still prepared with the same recipe and refinement technique developed by Master Maille more than 250 years ago, which is why it is "The one true taste of Dijon."


Maille Dijon Originale Mustard is available from Tesco for the price of £1.12
