Maybe Dijon knows something others don't.

 

I think, but don't quote me even though I am quoting you, that most Dijon mustard is made with mustard seeds from...Canada!!

 

To quote the ever knowledgeable Wiki:

 

France requires 35,000 tonnes of mustard seed to make Dijon mustard and 80% of the seed is imported from Canada, mainly from Alberta and Saskatchewan where most of Canada's mustard seeds are grown.[10][11] Canadian production experienced a smaller crop in 2022 caused by a heatwave. The 2022 drought resulted in halving its usual harvest.[12] The 2022 shortage was exacerbated by stockpiling by consumers.

 

(How do the tariffs work on that??!!)
