MIDDLETON–Bornier Wholegrain Dijon Mustard has won the Grand Champion award at the 2021 World-Wide Mustard Competition. This is the third Grand Champion award for Bornier. It also captured top honors for its classic smooth Dijon in 2014 and in 2020. Bornier is produced by Européenne de Condiments in Couchey, France.
Nearly 300 mustards from around the world entered this year’s competition, held under the direction of Barry Levenson, curator and founder of the National Mustard Museum in Middleton. Judges tasted mustards from as far away as India, Japan, and Sweden.
The National Mustard Museum, home of the world’s largest collection of mustards and mustard memorabilia, has coordinated this annual blind tasting since 1995. This year, more than forty judges sampled mustards in seventeen different categories: sweet-hot, mild, honey, classic Dijon, whole grain, classic hot, pepper medium, pepper hot, horseradish-wasabi, herb- veggie, garlic, fruit, spirit, American yellow, deli, exotic, and mustard-based BBQ sauces/glazes/marinades.
The Grand Champion was “revealed” in a live Zoom call at which several well-known chefs and writers (Mark Bittman, Sandor Katz, John Curtas, and Keith Sarasin) who had participated in the final round judging commented on the 17 Gold Medal winners from which the Grand Champion was selected.
Pommery, the venerable French mustard maker, won six medals, including Gold in the Spirit and Garlic categories. Beaverton Foods (Oregon) took home five medals and both Tigertail (Tennessee) and the Swedish mustard maker LissEllas earned four each.
The National Mustard Museum has survived the pandemic and is now open seven days a week. The museum will host its annual International Mustard Day on Aug. 7.
