Meaux Mustard is a type of traditional mustard originating from the Meaux region of France. It is characterized by its thick and grainy texture, as it is made from partially ground brown or black mustard seeds, which give it an intense, spicy, and slightly acidic flavor. This mustard is highly valued in European cuisine for its ability to enhance the flavor of meats, sauces, marinades, and dressings.
Origin: Meaux Mustard has its roots in the Île-de-France region and is one of the oldest styles of French mustard. Its traditional preparation involves fermenting the seeds with vinegar and spices, which gives it that characteristic complex and robust flavor.
Properties: In addition to being a tasty condiment, Meaux Mustard is low in calories and provides natural antioxidants derived from the seeds. Its grainy texture makes it ideal for adding body and consistency to various preparations, and its intense flavor helps balance rich or fatty dishes.
Synonyms in Latin American Spanish: Meaux Mustard is generally known as mostaza a la antigua or simply mostaza granulada. In some countries, it may also be called mostaza estilo antigua, especially when wanting to differentiate it from the usual mild or yellow mustard.
