Pommery Meaux French Wholegrain Mustard 500g

Meaux Pommery Mustard

Pommery Meaux French Wholegrain Mustard 500g is a traditional French mustard renowned for its distinctive coarse texture, aromatic flavour and rich culinary heritage. Known as Moutarde de Meaux Pommery, this classic wholegrain mustard is made using a historic recipe combining carefully selected mustard seeds, vinegar, salt and spices. The result is a beautifully balanced mustard with a gentle warmth, pleasant acidity and plenty of character.

Produced near the historic town of Meaux in France, Pommery mustard has a fascinating history dating back to the Middle Ages, when mustard was traditionally prepared by the Canons of Meaux Cathedral. By 1632, it had earned a place at the French royal table, establishing a reputation that continues today. The mustard is still produced by the Chamois family, who preserve its traditional methods and distinctive flavour.

Unlike smooth Dijon mustard, Pommery Wholegrain Mustard retains the texture of the mustard seeds, giving it a satisfying bite and a more rustic appearance. Its lightly spiced flavour makes it particularly versatile, working beautifully with roast meats, cold cuts, poultry, cheese and vegetables. Stir it into creamy sauces, whisk it into homemade vinaigrettes or use it to add depth to marinades and glazes.

Presented in Pommery's iconic 500g stoneware jar with a plastic lid, this mustard looks just as good on the dining table as it does in the kitchen. Its quality has also received international recognition, including the World's Best Mustard award in the Whole Grain category at the 2019 World-Wide Mustard Competition.

What makes Pommery Meaux Mustard different from Dijon mustard?

Pommery Meaux Mustard is a traditional wholegrain mustard made with mustard seeds that retain much of their texture, giving it a distinctive coarse consistency and aromatic flavour. Dijon mustard is generally much smoother, with a more uniform texture and often a sharper, more immediate heat. Pommery's lightly spiced character makes it particularly good for sauces, dressings and dishes where you want visible mustard seeds.

Why does Pommery mustard come in a stoneware jar?

The distinctive stoneware jar is part of Pommery mustard's traditional presentation and heritage. Stoneware helps protect the mustard from light and external temperature fluctuations, supporting the preservation of its flavour qualities. The iconic jar has also become closely associated with Moutarde de Meaux and makes an attractive addition to a dining table or condiment collection.

Can Pommery Wholegrain Mustard be used in cooking, or is it best served cold?

Pommery Wholegrain Mustard is suitable for both hot and cold preparations. It works particularly well stirred into cream sauces, used in marinades, brushed onto roasted meats or whisked into salad dressings. When making a delicate mustard cream sauce, adding the mustard towards the end of cooking can help preserve its aromatic flavour and distinctive texture.
