Pommery voatsiperifery pepper mustard is a unique combination of gourmet French mustard and the citrus-pine notes of voatsiperifery pepper. The mustard is a great partner for pork. Try with sausages or pork chops, or transform your Sunday roast.

Voatsiperifery is a rare pepper from Madagascar. It only grows wild in the Madagascan rainforests, and the plants can grow as tall as 20 metres. This makes harvesting very difficult, especially as it’s harvested by hand!

Moutarde de Meaux are regarded as one of the world’s great moutardiers. Their award-winning Pommery mustards are a favourite of professional chefs. All of their mustards are packed in traditional stoneware jars. These jars help to preserve the mustards’ characteristic pungency, so they taste fresher for longer.

Pommery mustard is made in Meaux, a cathedral town 60km west of Paris. The town has a long history of mustard production. It began in 771 AD, when Charlemagne decreed that canons and monks in cathedral towns like Meaux should cultivate mustard.

Meaux was also a centre for the quarrying of millstones, which brought many craftsmen to the area. In 1760, a dignitary of the Meaux cathedral chapter passed on the canons’ secret mustard recipe to a stonecutter. The stonecutter was called J. B. Pommery, and the recipe is still used by Moutarde de Meaux to make their famous Pommery mustard today.
