Spécialité Moutarde Fine Mi-Forte

Spécialité Moutarde Fine Mi-Forte sits in the middle of the mustard shelf: finer and milder than the sharp French-style jars, but still clearly mustard rather than a sweet sandwich spread. By our assessment, its strength is balance, because it can sit in dressings, with sausages or on a plate without overpowering the food. The downside is also that middle position, since people who want heat, grain, or a very strong Dijon edge may find it a bit plain. In practice it is the sort of condiment that disappears into cooking as often as it stands out on the table. Compared with wholegrain mustard it is smoother; compared with hot mustard it is softer; compared with ordinary yellow mustard it is more grown-up in flavour. Spécialité Moutarde Fine Mi-Forte is a safe everyday mustard, and its ceiling is set by that mildness.
