seeds the jars of dijon mustard made
with local french ingredients are sold
as burgundy mustard the name of the
region where it has been made for
centuries one of the factors that sets
burgundy mustard apart from regular
dijon is that it's ground using a stone
mill to give dijon mustard its distinct
creaminess the paste goes through a
sieve which extracts the yellow kernel
from the rind as the recipe evolved

flavor using a combination of white wine
and vinegar while burgundy mustard is
made with wine only
this wine comes from a local grape
variety called aligote which carries
hints of the chalky potassium-rich soil
of the region
