the best of the best of true french mustardJun 08, 2010
By coquelicot
Having grown up in France,I am very familiar with this product - I have been unable to find this TRUE French mustard in any store in the USA - there are many mustard called French mustard but they are not the original Amora "extrat forte". I was utterly thrilled when I found out that I could now purchase it through Amazon, instead of having to wait to go back to France and buy a whole case of it. It is an excellent product to add to a vinaigrette or eat with any red meat or to make any sauce - Any one who tries this mustard is guaranteed to be hooked on it

We had this mustard while we were visiting Colmar, France. It is simply the BEST, and I am thrilled that I can now get it here in the U.S. I am definately going to be ordering some!

Best mustard in the whole worldFeb 17, 2008
By Deborah R. Diot
"Geospatial girl"
My French husband and I have gone to great lengths to get this mustard. This is the first time I've seen it available in the US and we will definitely be ordering. There is nothing here that compares in our opinion. It's not an expensive mustard; just the best. And beware, it's very strong!
A delicious, traditional French mustardMar 26, 2012
By Robert C. Ross
I've been dating a very special French lady for almost a year, and we have found a couple of excellent French bistros here in New York City. Today, at brunch, we found a stock of this mustard.
"Robert, that is the classic mustard of France. I've always had it there. I think my grandmother sold it in her store in Palaiseau [near Paris] in the 1930's."
This is a very fine mustard, with a very strong, but not over-whelmingly sharp taste. Historic the label may be, but a few background facts are in order.
First, Amora is now a subsidiary of Unilever and not the family company it once was.
Second, the name "Dijon" must now be taken with a few mustard seeds, or if you prefer, grains of Le Saunier De Camargue Fleur De Sel. Dijon, the capital of Burgundy, has historically been famous for its mustard; the term "moutarde de Dijon" designates a method of making a mustard relish. The term is genericized under European Union law, so that it is no longer necessary that "Dijon mustard" be made in Digon at all. Most Dijon mustard (including Amora Dijon mustard) is produced industrially and over 90% of mustard seed used in French production is imported, mainly from Canada. In 2008, Unilever closed its Amora mustard factory in Dijon, and it is now made elsewhere.
Nevertheless, the name Amora lives on in this very fine product, and reminds both of us of France and the wonderful flavors found so often in the foods of that country.
If you want mustard as it might have tasted during the 1930's, I'm afraid you will have to find one of the few artisian producers still making mustard by traditional methods by hand. Or, you can make your own; it is actually quite easy if you take care in picking excellent mustard seeds and use cold water -- the essential ingredients of mustard. An excellent source of information on making different types of mustard is Mustards, Ketchups and Vinegars by Carol W. Costenbader.

The sine qua non of mustardsFeb 03, 2012
By Joseph
I am a fanatic about butters, vinegars and mustard, and salt. This AMORA mustard is superb, first in depth of flavor taste and aroma (Hey, a palindrone.) Makes the best vinegrette and as a condiment for meats....all excellant! Not your ball park type mustard....use "French's" mustard and give to caesar what is caesars.
