Gourmet Green peppercorn Mustard from France in crock 8.8oz

Rating just the mustard itself, it's hands down five stars. I love mustard and I love green peppercorns and the combination of flavors is pretty amazing. It's not a kick-you-in-the-sinuses flavor like Colemans or other mustards that have horseradish. This one has an obvious mustard taste that you first notice and then the green peppercorn taste becomes a little more pronounced. There's a little bit of heat but nothing outrageous. I can appreciate a product that tries to be savory rather than hot just for the sake of being hot. The mustard is expensive if you're comparing it to the squeeze bottle of French's at the local grocery store, but in this case you're getting a low volume product from France in a quality reusable container. I think 8.8oz is a good size for what you get. Like others who have left comments, my container seemed to have some residue on it. I don't think it was leaking from the inside of the stone jar - the rubber stopper at the top is really hard to remove - but more that something had leaked on it from the outside. That being said, there was no residue in or on the bubble wrapped bag it was packed in so it must have been packaged that way. That's a shame given the premium price of the mustard. Fortunately it all washed off easily under hot water. So far I have tried this with hot italian sausage and ham sandwiches and it's worked well. It's the perfect amount of spice that doesn't overpower what you're eating unless you douse it in the mustard. I'd also use it to dip pretzels in. I am, for sure, going to be ordering some more.

Used to be a pretty good product..not anymore. Flavorless and oily.

Best green peppercorn mustard out there

Just received today. The pot was packaged well and arrived in perfect condition. No rancidness, no difficulty getting the top off, no cracks or broken pieces like other reviewers experienced. The mustard is smooth, rather than grainy, and though it does not have discernible green peppercorns in it, it is quite delicious. It has a fresh spicy bite, similar to wasabi, but with a distinct tang. I used it with smoked sausage and a French baguette, and the result was delectable. If you don’t like spicy mustard, this may not be for you. However, bread tempers the heat a bit, and it’s really fantastic with smoked meat. I will be ordering more flavors of this excellent condiment. Highly recommended.

I’m more a fan of the one with the yellow label…which is amazing.

Pommery's mustards are simply the best. You get what you pay for. The rubber lid is a later improvement which is designed to keep the mustard perfectly fresh over the long haul in the fridge. It can be a challenge to open at first but here is the secret: slip a butter knife in between the crock and the lid and it lifts right off with ease. I use the back edge of the knife rather than the cutting edge. The crocks are beautiful and make wonderful kitchen containers. To remove the label, soak in hot water for about ten minutes and you can scrape the labels off with a fingernail or a knife. The tough glue will remain on the crock. Here's how to get the glue off effortlessly. Simply coat it with a nice oily peanut butter and let it sit for twenty minutes. (Yes, peanut butter - but not heavily processed sugary stuff - the natural kind that has only peanuts with their natural oils) You will be astonished to see that when you clean off the peanut butter afterwards, all the glue comes off with it. Any remaining bits come off easily with a fingernail or knife. Try it. You will be amazed. The crock is worth the price of the mustard. The mustard is a bonus.

This was is ordered along with two other mustards. All leaked and were disgusting. A very expensive event which must be returned.

I have enjoyed this mustard for many years. I love the green peppercorn flavor.... I think that this mustard is the best mustard in the world. I've tried hundreds of different mustards, I used to order from the mustard museum. It is just the best. If you are not put off by strong mustards or green peppercorn, give it a try. You might agree with me, but unfortunately, this makes your hot dogs more expensive. This stuff is not cheap. But it is worth it.

First tried this 40 years ago and it is still the same unique taste. Goes great with beef and cold cuts. A bit expensive but what isn't these days.

Gerat product and price and the seller responded swiftly to resolve problems of damage in transit.

When it comes to mustard, this one is above the class. I paid a LOT of money to acquire the mustard that is root of the complex salad dressings I make.

I thought I was buying wholegrain, but this has the texture of classic Dijon. But the flavour has a distinctly 'green berries' tang which is addictive.

Do I really need to go through all the rigmarole of sending this back. What a complete waste of time. The one star is a joke.
