Dijon mustard is a traditional French mustard, named after the town of Dijon in the Burgundy region, France, which was the center of mustard making in the late Middle Ages and was granted exclusive rights in France in the 17th century. The main ingredients of the modern condiment are brown mustard seeds (Brassica juncea) and a mixture of white wine, vinegar, water, and salt designed to imitate the original verjus. Dijon mustard has a tangy, sharp, and strong flavor with a bit of spice.
