Reine de dijon



La moutarde de Dijon est faite avec la moutarde noire. Sa graine est minuscule : environ 500 000 graines par kilo. Cette graine sous la dent ne pique pas. Elle a du goût, sans plus. Cette épice, utilisée pendant des siècles dans cet état brut (comme de la coriandre, du persil, du poivre, du sel), devient piquante lorsqu'elle passe par un processus chimique.

The mustard of Dijon is made with black mustard. Its seed is tiny: approximately 500 000 seeds per kilo. This seed under the tooth does not prick. It has taste, without more. This spice, used during centuries in this rough state (like coriandre, parsley, pepper, salt), becomes prickly when it passes by a chemical process.

I've been to a mustard festival once (in California though). They had all kinds of mustard there and you would taste by dipping a piece of bread into the mustard.

In your photo it looks like you have different kinds of dijon mustard as well, right? Do you have a festival for mustard?

Dear Arnaud, I was wondering when the mustard will show up...it reminded me of my brief visit to Dijon...I got so carried away by the varieties and bought a few bottles (big ones) and cursed myself for the rest of the trip because they were heavy...very heavy

Ok, so one "quiche" for Amande and Bob, 50Kg of mustard for Lisi, and a mustard festival for Nicola!

Never heard about such festival!

Ant to reply to Nicola, we have different flavours (nut, onion, blackcurrant, honey.... that allows you to make different types of "sauce".

C'est une moutarde aux fruits rouges, framboise, cassis, mures. On l'utilise avec les roti de porc ou les magrets de canard.
