Fallot Honey Balsamic Mustard

by Edmond Fallot

Product Description

The Fallot Mustard Mill in Burgandy has been an independent, family-owned company since 1840. Marc Désarménien, grandson of Edmond Fallot, is now at the head of the company. Around twenty employees help to ensure the quality of production.

Mustard is grown from the Brassica Seed of which there are 40 or so species. In the 17th Century the first smooth and aromatic mustards began to make an appearance and from this century onwards, the quality of mustard became a measure that was synonymous with riches, refinement and pleasure. But with the advent of the industrial revolution, the manufacturing process of mustard became mechandised losing much of the unique quality inherent in the craftsman methods of manufacturing. Very few remained steadfast to the artisanal production. One of those now rare manufacturers remains the Fallot Mustard Mill which still uses the traditional stone milling methods.

The discovery of verjuice (grape juice harvested in Burgandy) provided an excellent partner for the marriage of two excellent products--wine and mustard. Combining the verjuice with the mustard seed and milling the mixture with millstones (which avoids heating the sensitive paste) creates what we know as the noble product Dijon Mustard.

To this base, Fallot has added honey and Balsamic Vinegar from Modena, Italy, creating a subtle sweet and sour taste that enhances salad dressings as well as having many other applications in the preparation of poultry dishes, e
