Maille Wholegrain Mustard

A regular feature in my fridge has always been some form of wholegrain mustard, and perhaps the most common version of this is the Maille Wholegrain Mustard. It is readily available in most supermarkets, and is a brand leader. It is multifunctional as a condiment, with uses ranging from an accompaniment on the side of your plate (no matter the meal!) to basting over a salmon steak with some honey for that extra flavour. The whole grain part of the Maille mustard is what makes this type of mustard stand out from the rest, with whole grains of mustard seeds contained within the mustard, making it more of a scrub paste than a 'sauce'-style condiment.

Maille wholegrain mustard is a firm favourite in my house. It's something we all eat as we are mustard fans. I mean to me someone who doesn't eat it in on a roast beef dinner is mad lol It's just not right at all!

It is not as sweet as a French-style burger mustard. It is an excellent compromise between strength on the one hand and sharp vinegar on the other. It works particularly well with dressings for salad. You can mix olive oil and vinegar together, roughly in equal ...  Read the complete review

I bought one of these a few weeka go, to use to make some honey and mustard mash. It does work fine on its own though and has a real bite to it. The taste: I found this had a very sharp and acquired taste, it hits you straight away with a pungeont resonant flavour that makes the tongue recoil. You can literally taste the spice of the seeds. Combined with the zingy taste is a smoothy creamyness which offsets that sharp feel that you get, making for a very pleasant mustard. How to use: On its own just a tiny dollop is needed as it is quite strong. To use to make honey and mustard mash, I use a teaspoonful which gives it some much ...  Read the complete review
