Amora Dijon mustard can be found in most French kitchens, for a good reason. This French staple is just what you need to make a perfect vinaigrette.
Amora mustards have been produced since the 1930's. Today Amora is the French condiment leader.
Ingredients: water, mustard seeds, vinegar, salt, citric acid, preservative
This is the classic French lyonnaise mustard which is smooth and always easy to use. One of our basics is as an emulsifier for our own salad dressing plus coating on various broiled meats. It's great because it tastes exactly right.
I grew up in Lebanon where Amora mustard was a staple. I was elated when I found out it was sold through Simply Gourmand in the US. I just love its texture, flavor and color. It’s the perfect everyday mustard.
Mayonnaise is not the only thing I use Amora in, but to smear on lamb and pork chops and roasts. Combined with Herbes de Provence and lots of garlic, it is unbeatable for flavor. Don't forget the garlic. My vinaigrette is the talk of all my friends. I just don't tell them my secret, though they should know by now. I try to give them a jar for Christmas, if I can find extra and enough for me.
This is the very best Dijon mustard - period! And for an American, this is the very best place to purchase it!
Highly recommend.
a basic in my pantry
I lived in France for four years and tried just about every Dijon mustard out there. Each brand has their own distinct "personality". The Amora brand is a favorite of mine because it packs a little heat, and is perfect when there is a some mayonnaise involved (sandwich) or olive oil (vinaigrette). I also appreciate the spice/heat when I serve it with pate and cornichons.
Amora Dijon Mustard speaks for itself. It's delicious in salad dressings (one of my favorite places to use it) as well as on sandwiches, in potato salad, on bratwurst sausages and well, you name it.
I absolutely love this mustard and must always have some in my fridge - both at home and at work.
Ten years older than I am, this condiment has been "my must have" where ever I was in the world. It is reminiscent of the smell of a French kitchen...Nostalgia!
