Bramble Foods - French Mustard

6 x 160g jars

British-style 'French mustard' would also be classed as a 'moutarde douce' - a term used for certain sweeter, milder mustards in France made with whole mustard seeds. Dijon is a darker yellow, with a milder taste than English mustard, but still with more bite and a more classic mustard taste than the sweetish, savoury, 'French mustard'.

Foods and Meats that Pair Well with French Mustard:

1. Chicken: The versatility of chicken makes it a perfect canvas for the flavours of French mustards, especially Dijon and tarragon mustards, whether in marinades, rubs, or creamy sauces.
2. Pork: The natural sweetness of pork complements the tangy and sometimes spicy notes of French mustards. Whole grain mustard is particularly good in crusts or glazes for pork roasts and chops.
3. Beef: The robust flavours of beef can stand up to the strong flavours of mustard, making Dijon mustard a popular choice for beef tenderloin, steaks, and stews.
4. Lamb: The gamey flavour of lamb pairs well with the depth of French mustards, especially in marinades or as a crust for roasted cuts.
5. Fish: Delicate fish and seafood can benefit from the subtle use of French mustard, particularly in sauces or as a light marinade to enhance flavour without overpowering.

Beyond meats, French mustards are integral to many classic French dishes and sauces, such as vinaigrettes for salads, mayonnaise-based remoulades, and the mustard-based sauce for the traditional rabbit dish, lapin a la moutarde. Their ability to add depth, tanginess, and complexity to dishes makes French mustards a beloved ingredient in culinary traditions worldwide.
