Martin Pouret Mayonnaise with Orléans Smooth Mustard
Creamy, Quietly Sharp
Tasting Notes of the Curator
This mayonnaise opens with a clean, inviting aroma—fresh egg richness supported by the soft warmth of Orléans smooth mustard. On the palate, the texture is supple and cohesive, creamy without feeling dense or greasy. The mustard does not dominate; instead, it brings structure and lift, lending a gentle tang that keeps the mayonnaise bright and composed. Acidity is restrained and well-integrated, avoiding the sharpness found in more industrial versions. The finish is smooth, lightly savory, and quietly persistent. Everything feels calibrated: richness balanced by clarity, softness sharpened just enough to stay lively. This is mayonnaise that behaves like a sauce, not a filler.

Mayonnaise, the Orléans Way
By incorporating Orléans smooth mustard directly into the emulsion, Martin-Pouret reinforces its core philosophy: condiments should be built, not assembled. The mustard provides both flavor and stability, allowing the mayonnaise to remain creamy, bright, and controlled without relying on aggressive acidity. It’s a classic French approach—quietly technical, deeply practical, and endlessly usable in the kitchen.
