Fine Dijon Mustard
There's nothing quite like a proper French Dijon mustard to bring a little extra flavour to your favourite dishes. Pommery Fine Dijon Mustard 100g is a traditional French mustard with a wonderfully smooth texture, a distinctive sharpness and a strong, punchy flavour that makes it a brilliant addition to everyday cooking.
Made in the tradition of classic Dijon mustard, this finely ground mustard has a creamy consistency that blends beautifully into sauces, dressings and marinades. Its sharp, tangy character works particularly well with roast beef, steak and other red meats, while a small spoonful can bring a lovely depth to creamy sauces, homemade mayonnaise and French vinaigrettes.
Unlike wholegrain mustard, which contains visible mustard seeds, fine Dijon mustard has a completely smooth finish, making it particularly useful when you want flavour without changing the texture of a dish. Try whisking it into a red wine sauce, spreading it onto a steak sandwich or combining it with white wine vinegar and extra virgin olive oil for a classic French salad dressing.

Why is Dijon mustard often used to emulsify salad dressings?
Dijon mustard contains natural compounds from mustard seeds that help oil and vinegar combine into a more uniform dressing. This makes it particularly useful when preparing homemade vinaigrettes, as it helps create a smoother consistency and slows down separation. Whisk the mustard with vinegar first, then gradually add the oil for the best results.
Does Dijon mustard lose its sharpness when cooked?
Yes, the distinctive pungency of Dijon mustard can become milder during cooking, particularly when simmered in sauces or casseroles. For a stronger mustard flavour, stir a little extra into the sauce towards the end of cooking. This is particularly useful when making creamy mustard sauces where you want the sharpness to remain noticeable.
Why does Dijon mustard have such a distinctive sharp flavour?
The sharpness develops when compounds naturally present in mustard seeds react with water during preparation, producing the characteristic pungent flavour. Vinegar contributes acidity and helps influence the finished taste. The result is a mustard with a different flavour profile from sweeter or milder prepared mustards.
