No visit to Dijon is complete without a visit to a mustard factory. The city of the Dukes of Burgundy is committed to preserving its local heritage by perpetuating the traditional production of mustard.

Maille is a brand that needs no introduction, so recognisable is it on supermarket shelves with its domed shape and little black lids.
