Fallot Black Currant Mustard
- by Fallot
- France
Crafted in Burgundy by a family-owned mustard mill, Fallot’s unique Black Currant Mustard is a feast for the eyes and the palate. Made using time-honored techniques, it’s a jewel-toned, textured spread of creamy dijon infused with black currant and pops of whole black and brown mustard seeds. A fruity brightness blends with the signature bite and tang of well-made dijon. Spread over thick slices of Fabrique DDélices Smoked Duck Breast or mix into a marinade or dressing to add a special touch.
“I had never seen anything like this black currant mustard before we started carrying it! Now I use it in all my salad dressings. It also really pops on a charcuterie board (I like it with High Plains Cheddar and a rustic pâté).”

- Dijon mustard is named for the French city of Dijon, which is the capital of the Côte-d'Or département and of the Burgundy region.
- The mustard was first created in 1865, when Jean Naigeon substituted verjus—the acidic juice of unripe grapes—for vinegar in a traditional mustard recipe.
- Fallot uses traditional methods to create their mustard, including grinding the seeds using a millstone to avoid damaging the paste.
- Mustard as a category includes a wide range of flavors, and dijon is known for its pungent profile, which makes it a popular condiment for cheeses, meats, dressings, and marinades. Fallot’s version is just a bit smoother in flavor than some other punchier dijons.
- Steeped in family history and French artisan tradition, Fallot Mustard Mill, founded in 1840, is the last independent and family-run mustard mill in Burgundy, France.
- They still use traditional stone-milling mustard-making techniques today.
- Their Burgundy Mustard has obtained a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI), a sign of quality in France and across Europe. It’s manufactured using mustard seeds grown in Burgundy and AOC Burgundy wine.
