Fallot Dijon Mustard (Large)

Fallot Mustard Mill, the last independent Burgundy 'Moutarderie' (mustard mill), has been an independent Burgundian family business since 1840. The company is currently under the control of Marc Désarménien, the grandson of the man who took over the business, while his father still plays an active role. Fallot takes great pride and care in preserving the Dijon tradition, as they believe the mustard-maker's craft is essential to guaranteeing a quality product.

The Fallot Dijon Mustard is one of the company's favorite products, and it is often enjoyed on hot dogs and brats. The mustard seeds are mixed directly with wine vinegar, spices, and the manufacturer's specific flavorings. The mixture is then roughly milled without sieving, in order to keep the seeds whole. The dry matter content must be at least 18% of the total weight.

The history of Dijon mustard can be traced back to 1634, when the city of Dijon imposed the first statutes on the mustard-making trade out of concern for the quality of its mustard. Even before this date, the region was well known for the quality of its mustard. The 18th-century discovery of verjuice - the juice from grapes harvested in Burgundy - further enhanced the quality of this fine product.

In the early 1900s, it was found that wine vinegar produced a more consistent product than the juice of unripe grapes. Adding wine vinegar to the brown mustard seed and grinding the mixture using traditional grindstones, so as not to damage the heat-sensitive paste, helped to earn Dijon Mustard a worldwide reputation for quality.

Fallot is the only Dijon producer that still uses the traditional stone mill method, as they believe it is essential to guaranteeing a quality product. The seeds are selected for their quality and are still ground using traditional millstones.

Fallot Dijon Mustard is available in various flavors, including Dijon Mustard with Honey and Balsamic, as well as Dijon Mustard with Provençal herbs (red pepper, garlic, paprika) and extra virgin olive oil. These flavorful mustards can enhance a wide range of dishes, from meats and vegetables to sauces and salad dressings.

Wholesome Good is proud to offer Fallot's Dijon Mustard products, which are made with all-natural ingredients using traditional methods that have been passed down since 1840. By preserving the Dijon tradition and quality, Fallot continues to deliver a truly exceptional mustard experience.
