In Rue de la Chouette, you'll find the Dijon boutique of Moutarderie Fallot. Here, you'll discover the preserved, artisanal mustard-making process: mustard seeds are ground on a stone millstone.

At night, a hologram comes to life, showing you how the product is made. Pay a visit to the head office in Beaune. Linger at the mustard bar to discover all the flavors.

Blackcurrant, raspberry, mango, vine peach, mirabelle prune, guava, tomatoes... Whether they are from here or elsewhere, they are from France, Emmanuelle selects them himself; he does not hesitate to travel to the other side of the world. Three fruit nectars come from organic agriculture: the blackcurrant nectar, the apricot and the mirabelle one. He made two exquisite products for the Bernard Loiseau group: the Morello cherry nectar and blackcurrant buds, the Lorraine mirabelle and grapefruit nectar. This year, the range has extended with a salted butter caramel and blackcurrant of Burgundy. As sweets or in spreads... A delight. As for the salted dishes, find vinegars with fruit pulp, confits, spices like the pepper with blackcurrant, made from blackcurrant buds harvested in February. A noble product, with vegetable and fruity flavour. Our favourite? The Reunion mango confit and the shallot of Brittany. A great combination.
