Dijon is the regional capital of the French province of Burgundy. This is the town where the Dukes of Burgundy had their residence in the fourteenth century. Mustard was already growing in popularity all over France but the Dukes ordered huge amounts of it to be brought to Dijon for their feasts. So Dijon began making mustard itself and by the eighteenth century it had become the greatest mustard producing centre in France.

The first mustard recipe was written in AD 42, known as mustum ardens - burning juice. The Romans were the first to use the seeds to flavour and preserve food. Then in the Thirteenth Century the French introduced mustard seeds to farmers. However it was not until 1752 when Jean Naigeon replaced the vinegar by the must of the unripe grapes giving it more acidity and bite that Dijon secured it's famed mustard position. Still to this day Dijon is the mustard capital of the universe, there is even a Mustard Museum here and 90% of the mustard eaten in France is Dijon style.

I'm a real lover of quality condiments. Téméraire Dijon Mustard is one of my favorites. Last night's dinner was grilled Salmon with a glaze of blended Téméraire Dijon mustard, Capers and Olives. Served with a side of grilled Portobellas and Salad. Bon Appétit!
