The French city of Dijon is famous for developing a method of making a strong flavoured mustard from mostly Canadian mustard seeds, the process has now been industrialised and Dijon mustard no longer needs to be made in Dijon to carry the name. Moutard de Dijon or Dijon Mustard refers to the method used to make the mustard not where it was made.
A brand of mustard. It was developed by Maurice Grey and Auguste Poupon in 1777 in Dijon, France.
Dijon mustard is unique because it is made with white wine and has a smoother, less tangy flavor compared to other types of mustard.
Grey Poupon is a Dijon mustard made by Kraft Foods, although it was first made in France in 1777. Its ingredients include brown mustard seeds from Canada and white wine from upstate New York.
Dijon mustard typically does not contain alcohol in its standard recipes. However, some varieties may use wine or wine vinegar as an ingredient, which can contain trace amounts of alcohol. If you're concerned about alcohol content, it's best to check the label or choose a mustard that explicitly states it is alcohol-free.
If you don't have champagne mustard, you can substitute it with a mixture of Dijon mustard and a splash of white wine or white wine vinegar to mimic its tangy flavor. Alternatively, you can use regular mustard with a hint of honey or a bit of apple cider vinegar for a similar taste profile. Adjust the quantities to suit your preference for sweetness and acidity.
