  • The key to real Dijon mustard is in its 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 Colonel from the rind.

  • As the recipe evolved, producers sought to recreate its fruity 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 alley goat, which carries hints of the chalky, potassium rich soil of the region.
