Mustard tips:

  • Add a little MAILLE® Dijon mustard to a basic cheese sauce to accentuate the flavour of the sauce.
  • MAILLE® is delicious when mixed with a little honey and brushed on barbeque chicken or pork, great for barbeques.
  • Add a little MAILLE® mustard with tomato ketchup, great served with fish and chips.
