Description
The association between mustard and Meaux, a town 41 km east of Paris, is the result of ecclesiastical history and geology. The city has been a religious center since the seventh century, when Saint Faron founded a monastery on the banks of the Marne River. The link between mustard making and religious life was forged when Charlemagne charged monks with growing mustard seeds. In addition, the countryside surrounding Meaux is rich in the kind of silaceous rock needed for mill stones, which led to the creation of hundreds of mills in the area. By the 17th century, Meaux boasted numerous mustard factories. In the 19thcentury, J.B. Pommery, a mustard merchant and mill owner, was fortunate enough to acquire the Chanoines’ secret mustard recipe. It is this recipe, almost lost in the upheavals of the 20th century, that was reintroduced by the Chamois family in 1949. Since then, the family business, now in its fourth generation, has focused on promoting the classic mustard while introducing a variety of successful new recipes.
