Moutarde Violette de Brive - 200g

Moutarde Violette de Brive

Moutarde Violette de Brive is a traditional mustard from the south-west of France, made by the renowned Denoix Distillery, which has been producing high-quality condiments since its founding in 1839 in Brive-la-Gaillarde, France. This mustard combines slight heat from the mustard seeds with the sweetness of grape must, resulting in a beautifully balanced flavour profile. The mustard is further enhanced with deep, rich notes of cloves, cinnamon, and other spices, giving it a complexity that elevates any dish. Its distinctive deep purple colour adds to its visual appeal, making it a striking addition to any table.

Use this mustard as you would any other, pairing it with steaks, sausages, sandwiches, or any dish that could benefit from its unique, aromatic flavour.
