Dijona Moutarde de Dijon

Dijona is a premium brand of French mustard produced by Reine de Dijon, a company with deep roots in the Burgundy region of France. The brand follows the traditional 'Moutarde de Dijon' recipe, which historically dates back to the 13th century and was revolutionized in the 19th century by Jean Naigeon, who replaced vinegar with verjuice (unripe grape juice) to create a sharper, more refined heat.

The product is manufactured in Burgundy, specifically in Fleurey-sur-Ouche, just a short distance from the city of Dijon. Despite the global fame of Dijon mustard, the name itself is considered a generic designation for a specific recipe rather than a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI), unless it is labeled specifically as 'Moutarde de Bourgogne'.

Dijona is currently owned by Reine de Dijon, which itself is a subsidiary of a family-run group. The company prides itself on maintaining artisanal standards while utilizing specialized production facilities to supply both professional chefs and retail consumers worldwide.
