How Dijon Mustard Is Made in France During an Ongoing Shortage | Eater
"Run by third-generation director Marc Desarmenien, this independent, family-owned Dijon mustard factory — the oldest in France — relies exclusively on 100% French mustard seed from the region, which has allowed it to avoid the current supply panic affecting producers that import roughly 80% of their seeds from North America, particularly Canada. It produces more than 2,000 pounds of Dijon mustard per year (a modest output compared with France's roughly 9,000 tons of annual production) and makes many varieties ranging from traditional old-fashioned Dijon to flavored options like blackcurrant and basil. Because of its local sourcing, the operation has been able to maintain steady production despite shortages elsewhere." - Avery Dalal
