Description
The famous violet mustard from Brive or "La Moutarde Violette de Brive".
Method
It is made each autumn by blending freshly pressed red grape juice and the must from skins with just-ground black mustard seeds.
The major producers claims that there are no artificial additives, but there are sulfites.
There does not seem to be any organic variety available.
Usage
The result is unique: a sweet-spicy flavor that makes it a delicious accompaniment to pate, roast lamb and beef, steak, chicken, duck and salmon.
HistoryKnown since the 13th century, this Limousin speciality is most renowned since Pope Clement VI, who was born in the area and was homesick because of the Vatican food, asked a local manufacturer to prepare specialities based on violet mustard for him.
The firm of Denoix which was established in 1839, is the most renowned producer of this mustard. It is a secret recipe and the current holder of the secret is M. Laurent Viellefosse.
Availability
Exported througout the world and available in many specialty shops including online.
