Fallot Dijon Mustard

13.75 OZ This is one of our favorite Fallot products - we love it on our
hotdogs and brats. The mustard seeds are mixed directly with the wine vinegar,
spices and flavorings of each manufacturer's specific recipes. The mixture is
rough milled without sieving in order to keep the seed whole. The content in
dry matter must be at least 18% of the total weight. In 1634, out of concern
for the quality of is mustard, the city of Dijon imposed the first statues on
the mustard-making trade. Even before this date the region was well known for
the quality of its mustard. The 18th century discovery of verjuice - juice
from grapes harvested in Burgundy - put the finishing touch of quality to this
fine product. In the early 1900s it was found that wine vinegar produced a
more consistent product than the juice of un-ripe 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. The Fallot Mustard Mill is
the last independent Burgundy 'Moutarderie - mustard mill. Fallot has been an
independent Burgundian family business since 1840, and is the only one still
housed on its original premises, a few steps away from the Hospice of Beaune.
Marc D?sarm?nien, the grandson of the man who took over the company, is
currently in control of the business, while his father still plays an active
role in the company. Fallot is very proud and protective of the Dijon
tradition. The seeds are selected for their quality and are still ground as
before using traditional millstones. Now as before, Fallot looks to the
mustard-maker's craft to guarantee a quality product, which is why they still
use traditional millstones in their process - indeed, they the only Dijon
producer that still uses the traditional stone mill method.
