A Brief Guide to Mustard Identification
It’s okay; most of us just pretend to know the differences between mustards while hoping we never need to actually know what makes dijon mustard different from yellow mustard, pub mustard, spicy mustard, or honey mustard (well, that last one is pretty self-explanatory).
So, here goes:
- Yellow mustard is made from yellow mustard seeds, vinegar, and turmeric (which gives this variety its bright yellow appearance).
- Dijon mustard is named after the town of Dijon in Burgundy, France—the center of mustard-making in the late Middle Ages—and is made from brown mustard seeds, white wine, and salt The more authentic version uses verjuice—made from pressed, unripened grapes—instead of white wine.
- Brown mustard (sometimes known as pub mustard or deli mustard) has a chunkier texture from ground brown mustard seeds and often has small amounts of spices such as turmeric, allspice, cinnamon, and white wine vinegar.
- Spicy mustard uses either brown or black mustard seeds and sometimes a small amount of hot sauce. Horseradish may also be used to give the mustard more of a kick.
Congrats! You’re now a mustard expert. We’ve chosen dijon mustard mixed with maple syrup for the vinaigrette in this recipe, for a blend that’s both tangy and sweet.
