The History of Pommery Mustard

Pommery mustard, also known as Moutarde de Meaux, has a rich history that dates back to the 17th century in France. Its origins are closely tied to the town of Meaux, located in the Île-de-France region. The recipe for this unique mustard was developed by the monks of the Abbey of Meaux, who were known for their expertise in various forms of food production, including mustard.

The traditional method of making Pommery mustard involves using a coarse grind of mustard seeds, which are mixed with vinegar, water, and spices. This process results in a distinctive grainy texture and robust flavor that sets it apart from other types of mustard. The recipe was carefully guarded and passed down through generations, maintaining its authenticity and high quality.

In the 19th century, the recipe and production of Moutarde de Meaux were taken over by the Pommery family, who continued the tradition of making this exceptional mustard. They retained the original recipe and the artisanal methods, ensuring that the mustard remained true to its historical roots. The Pommery family also played a significant role in popularizing the mustard, making it a sought-after product both in France and internationally.

Pommery mustard is traditionally packaged in distinctive stoneware jars sealed with a red wax top, which not only preserves the freshness of the mustard but also pays homage to its historical packaging. This iconic presentation has become synonymous with the brand and adds to the mustard’s appeal.
