Maison Marc Espelette Chilli Pepper Mustard, 170g

Maison Marc Espelette Chilli Pepper Mustard is a grainy, old-fashioned French mustard made on the Maison Marc farm in Chemilly-sur-Yonne, Burgundy. It starts with mustard seeds and a tomato-based sauce, then gets a gentle kick from PDO Espelette chilli pepper. Not a fierce chilli mustard. More of a warm, fruity heat that comes in after the mustard’s tang. Is this your first time buying from us?

• Grainy mustard with visible mustard seeds
• Tomato base gives round, savoury depth
• PDO Espelette chilli adds gentle warmth
• Made on-farm in Burgundy, France
• Good with sausages, burgers and charcuterie

This is the jar we’d open for a grilled sausage sandwich, especially with sliced tomato and a few sharp leaves. It is also very good stirred into a pan sauce after cooking pork or chicken, or whisked into a vinaigrette when you want mustard bite without too much heat.

Maison Marc has been a family producer since 1923, best known for French gherkins. Their mustards are prepared and packed on the farm too, which gives this little jar a pleasing sense of place.

Meet the maker: Maison Marc

Maison Marc makes French cornichons and condiments in Chemilly-sur-Yonne, in Burgundy. Their best-known jars are the small, crisp cornichons that make a cheese board, pâté, terrine or raclette feel complete.

What makes them special is the short journey from field to jar. Maison Marc grows its own cornichons in Burgundy, then harvests and packs them in France. Their cornichons are grown without herbicides or insecticides, picked by hand, and jarred without preservatives.

These are the cornichons you want beside rich food: bright, sharp, firm and clean-tasting. They cut through charcuterie and potato salads, or lift a sandwich. The jars are simple and elegant too, with clear glass and well-designed labels. They look right at home on the table, not hidden away in the fridge door.

For anyone who loves French food, Maison Marc is a lovely discovery: real Burgundy-grown cornichons, made with patience, care and a deep respect for a classic French staple.
