Gourmanity 1lb Wholegrain old style Mustard From France, Whole grain mustard in stone jar with a cork lid, Grainy Mustard, Fancy Mustard, Coarse ground mustard de meaux, All-Natural

This review is LONG overdue. I have been thinking about writing it for months (literally), but better late than never.First things first, it did arrive slightly wet and smelling of mustard. The paper wrapped around it was wet and I threw it out. I contacted the seller and they said: "As long as the cork is securely in, it is safe to eat it. The reason for the leak is that it gets shaken around so much during shipping, and the seal is a cork it tends to leak sometimes."My husband and I were quite relieved because even the smell from the leaked liquid was absolutely amazing and we wanted to eat it right away.Opening this up was not difficult. You put something flat like a butter knife between the cork and jar and then do that slowly and carefully all the way around and it will start to loosen. Be patient, it really doesn't take long, but I know, when you want some tasty mustard, even a few seconds feels like eternity, but it is soooooo worth it.After opening it, I tasted a large dollop. At first, I was like...OK, it tastes as good as the best grain mustard I have ever had (which is saying something)...THEN...there was a kick of extra flavor at the end that put it way past any other mustard I have had. I literally was like...Oh My!!This is seriously the best grain mustard I have ever had, by a decent bit and I have tried some truly tasty brands. I am running low at the moment and am devastated that this is sold out. I am hoping this is the same that they sell in their glass jar because I will definitely NEED some more soon.We had burgers last night and put this on it with our other toppings and some ketchup. The flavor cut through all of that, even the hot pickle chips, to give the burger the most amazing tangy tastiness. It added so much flavor and deliciousness.I could just eat a dollop by itself...yes, it is THAT good. Seriously, if you love mustard, get yourself some of this stuff. I highly recommend it.

This is delicious. I love mustard but this is exceptional. And it's homemade in France. They seem to always get it right when it comes to delicious food. Take your time with a butter knife getting off cork. Don't use a sharp, pointy knife....it'll rip out pieces of the cork. Just insert butter knife and pry, spin jar and pry again until you've done a complete circle. It should be out by then. And one more thing, the crock will be adorable as a flower vase when empty. Thanks!

The mustard is wonderful. That being said, the jar was leaking when it arrived. The label was ruined. No refund since food cannot be returned.

This Gourmanity 1lb Wholegrain old style Mustard From France arrives in a ceramic jar with a large cork top. Mine had some mustard that leaked a bit from the top, but it didn't seem to have any impact on the quality (in fact, customer service sent me a replacement, and it, too, had some liquid on the outside). The plastic seal around the cork/top was intact. The cork is a bit of a challenge to remove the first time. The aroma from the mustard is fantastic.I tried the mustard on a slice of homemade sourdough bread with a slice of vegan cheese. This is the best mustard that I've had in recent memory. It took me back and reminded me why I love mustard so much! It's so yummy! I like to add it to various foods when I'm cooking, but this is simply delicious on its own. It is perfect for sandwiches, burgers, dressings, and so much more. I highly recommend this French wholegrain mustard!

I must admit, I was a bit concerned about purchasing this mustard after reading the reviews. BUT it arrived completely intact, and no mustard on the jar or packaging! The cork wasn't that difficult to remove, either. This mustard is heavenly! Excellent value, shipped fast. Highly recommend this mustard!!!

The taste is delicious. My only complaint is it’s not wrapped right so when you receive it it will probably be open in the box a little or leaking. Also it’s a potent mustard smell so it’s hard to store it in the fridge without putting the whole jar in a gallon ziplock bag first

The packaging arrived with a very strong mustard smell. Strike one. When I opened the bubble wrap it had mustard all over the jar that had dried on the label and I think it seemed as though it was busted. Strike 2. It was very tricky to get the cork out but we did go ahead and check that it appeared all seals were in place and after about 10 minutes of prying around the edge with a butter knife we successfully opened the jar keeping the cork intact so we could reseal it. The flavor is delicious. Worth all the effort, but noticed the expiration date was two weeks away from the date we received it so we were shipped a product that’s about to expire. Strike three. Amazon provided a refund without asking anything else so that was nice but I would love to have a fresh jar that isn’t about to expire but can’t figure out how to contact the seller. So overall pretty disappointed in this experience.

This is great mustard for a great price. Add it to sauces and recipes for a secret ingredient. Yes- the top leaks a little in shipment but in both bottles I have received it didn’t affect the quality of the product.
