Maille Mustard, Dijon Originale No Added Sulfites, 7.5 oz, 6 Count (Packaging may vary)

This was an odd purchasing experience. I have eaten Maille mustard for years but the large jars that I used to buy no longer seem to be available and these smaller ones had gotten very expensive in grocery stores. When I saw this six-pack at Amazon and saw the jars would cost me about $3 per bottle I decided this was a really good deal and ordered a pack. When the box arrived from Amazon it was suspiciously light for what should have been about 3 pounds of mustard. When I opened it and found one lonely little jar bubble wrapped inside this very large box I got on the phone to customer service. Amazon told me not to worry about it and sent a second order, this time with the promised six-pack. That aside, I think this mustard is one of the best Dijon mustards I have ever used. It is particularly good in a home made vinaigrette. The mustard you use must effectively emulsify into the oil and vinegar and Maille does so perfectly.

An outstanding mustard. … But my real reason for posting: I have bought this version (non-sulfite) and the same Maille mustard with sulfites from Amazon. All in excellent condition, both the product and the container itself. Both have years to go before expiration provided they have not been opened.…COLOR: This non-sulfite version will always be slightly darker than the with-sulfite version. Simply because the sulfite is a preservative that maintains the lighter color. The non-sulfite version naturally and quickly starts to change color a little. Color is NOT an indicator of its freshness or general quality.

We have been using Maile mustard ever since we discovered it via a google search for a European brand mustard. It instantly became a favorite. Then during a recent trip to Germany this same brand Maile was offered at our bed and breakfast. It was perfect with morning sausage! And the proprietor wanted to send us home with a jar. Impressive reputation. And, we like it!

THIS PRODUCT CANNOT BE RETURNED Photo is of a good jar on the left that we bought at the store and one of the six that arrived today. The jars in our order are all an odd darker color. While the paper seal was intact the jars didn't "pop" when opened. It doesn't smell like the mustard we normally buy, then we made the mistake of tasting a little bit. What a mistake! All six jars, while still having a good date have gone bad. Ever tasted rotten mustard? I do not suggest it. Now, we have to throw six jars of mustard away since we can't return it. DO NOT BUY THIS!

I wasn't expecting this to be so spicy, but the heat goes well with the mustard flavor. Excellent!

I've used it for years. They've been making great products for over 300 years. Superior to any other mustards, all of them. A plate of pretzel sticks with ramekins of their different ones makes a great snack. Best price here too.

Wish they were in larger jars. The jars are small.

Beware the packaging as others have said! The six-pack box contains unprotected jars and will likely come with at least one of the jars broken and mustard "goo: and shards of glass all over the other intact bottles. Why Amazon does not correct this packing and shipping problem is a mystery. Now for the product itself: Le Maille (pronounced "la My" and meaning a stitch or piece of mesh) is best known as a common and widely distributed Dijon-style mustard brand, although the company itself, founded in Marseilles, includes dozens of other products. "Style" is the key word here, as what is generally available in the U.S. is not actually a product entirely made in the ancient and industrial city of Dijon, France, but, rather, most of the mustard seeds are grown in Canada. The multinational company Unilever owns and distributes the Maille brand and it is based in Chevigny-Saint-Saveur. If you want authentic mustard from seeds actually grown in France and with a PGI (protected geographical origin) you will need to find "moutarde de Bourgogne". That all said, the brand is quite good, aromatic, and sharply flavorful and much better to my palate than the other ubiquitous brand owned by Kraft, Grey Poupon. Recommended, unless you are actually in France to buy "the real stuff."

Gerne wieder. Danke.
