Royal mustard with Cognac Pommery® 250 g

How to Open a Wax-Sealed Jar?

The mustard is packaged in an elegant black stoneware jar and sealed with a gold wax-covered natural cork.

To open the jar, gently break the wax around the edge using the back of a knife. Then, carefully insert the tip of the knife between the cork and the stoneware, and go around the jar. Use a small hard-bristle brush to remove any remaining wax particles that may still be adhering to the jar.

The Origin of Moutarde de Meaux

In the 15th century, the town of La Ferté-sous-Jouarre, near Meaux, was renowned for its millstones used to grind mustard seeds. Mustard was cultivated there, and the millstones were used to produce mustard flour for medicinal and culinary purposes.

The Pommery Family and Moutarde de Meaux

In the 18th century, the Pommery family embraced this tradition and perpetuated the recipe of Moutarde de Meaux. Their high-quality preparation quickly became famous and was even appreciated by royal tables. The Pommery family also operated millstone quarries, ensuring the quality of the ingredients used in the mustard.
