We couldn't take it anymore. In the world of French Mustards, there is one we like a lot, but many more that aren't too exciting. In fact, most are all water, mustard flour and citric acid. Since 1996, we have wanted to import coarse mustard made with Banyuls vinegar. But we couldn't do it. Anyone familiar with European mustard and U.S. customs knows that there had been a 100% duty on all E.C. mustard for years in retaliation for beef or bananas or some such thing. This put all Euro mustards WAY out of price range. So we looked, and looked and finally found a U.S. firm we liked to do a private recipe. We sent them, vinegar, and other mustards we admired and called them every day for 3 months until they developed products we could LOVE. We are thrilled to shout out to everyone: EAT this NOW!

Here is the line-up:

• Banyuls Mustard - This is coarse mustard with our Vinegar of Banyuls, a touch of water, mustard seeds, Spanish sea salt (containing no anti-caking or flowing agents) and a dash of turmeric to keep the color. Pork pate is waiting for it's day with this mustard.

• Spicy Honey Mustard - A special coupage of mountain and floral orange blossom honey give a nuanced sweet to the spice of the mustard the pucker of the wine vinegar. This deli-delectable mustard loves making a date with a ham & cheese sandwich.
• Dijon Mustard - Dijon Mustard is what Dijon should be in silky texture and simple clean ingredients : mustard seed, water, vinegar, sea salt and turmeric. It is the base to any vinaigrette and is the go-to when ever mustard is call for!
• Dijon Black Truffle - the silky traditional Dijon Mustard with a fantastic truffle flavor, and a generous sprinkling of truffle bits.
• California Heritage Mustard - Everything good and great from the golden state: Heritage California mustard seed, coarsely ground and blended with tasty Katz Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc vinegar. COMING MARCH 2011

Oh, and talk about awards, how's this for a Mustard babe? The Dijon with Black truffle was the '09 GRAND CHAMPION AT THE NAPA VALLEY MUSTARD FESTIVAL!
