Dijon Mustard

Dijon mustard is a classic French condiment renowned for its smooth texture and robust, tangy flavor. Originating from the city of Dijon in the Burgundy region of France, it is made primarily from brown or black mustard seeds, vinegar, water, and salt, with a touch of white wine or wine vinegar that gives it its distinctive sharpness and complexity. Dijon mustard is celebrated for its creamy consistency and balanced heat, making it a versatile ingredient in both cooking and as a table condiment. It adds depth to salad dressings, marinades, and sauces, and pairs beautifully with meats, cheeses, and vegetables. Whether used to elevate a sandwich or to enrich a vinaigrette, Dijon mustard brings a touch of French elegance and a burst of flavor to any dish.

Dijon mustard is typically found in the condiments aisle of most grocery stores, often shelved alongside other mustards, ketchups, and salad dressings. Look for it in glass or plastic jars, sometimes in squeeze bottles, labeled clearly as "Dijon Mustard." In larger supermarkets, there may be a dedicated section for international or gourmet foods, where specialty varieties of mustard, including Dijon, are displayed. If you cannot find it in the condiments aisle, check near the pickles, mayonnaise, or barbecue sauces. Dijon mustard is a staple ingredient for vinaigrettes, marinades, and sandwiches, so it’s widely stocked and easy to locate. If you need assistance, don’t hesitate to ask a store employee—they’ll be happy to point you in the right direction.
