Traditional mustards: French know-how and Cambodian spices

La Plantation’s mustard is more than just a condiment – it transforms your dishes. Inspired by local traditions and enriched with Cambodian spices, it strikes a perfect balance between intensity and refinement. Carefully crafted with passion and dedication, this mustard is more than an artisanal product; it’s an invitation to reinvent your cooking!

A Fusion of French heritage and exotic flavours

 Remarkable creations often stem from unexpected encounters. At the Épicures Awards in Paris, two passionate producers – La Plantation in Cambodia and Maison Clarance in France – decided to merge their expertise. From this bold collaboration was born the idea of reinterpreting an iconic French product with a unique twist, thanks to Cambodian spices!

The origins of our traditional Mustard range: Combining tradition and innovation

François Lorin, a farmer in Eure-et-Loir, has been cultivating his family’s fields with his brother since 1950. On the lands of Digny, François revived an almost forgotten crop: mustard. This initiative materialised through the Maison Clarance brand, dedicated to producing exceptional 100% French artisanal mustard.

 The quality of our mustards begins in the fields. François employs eco-friendly farming methods to produce mustard seeds rich in flavour and nutrients.

Each recipe is the result of meticulous manual work, striking a precise balance between these premium seeds and our flavourful spices. Crafted by hand, our mustards reflect our shared commitment to quality, authenticity, and taste.

From cultivation to production, every step honours the environment and prioritises quality. Carefully grown and harvested seeds meet handpicked Cambodian spices, resulting in a unique marriage of flavours.

Our traditional mustards invite you to rediscover the authentic taste of mustard, thanks to artisanal expertise. The unique flavour stems from high-quality local seeds and traditional stone-grinding methods, setting it apart from industrial mustard that often relies on water-based processes..

Maison Clarance’s artisanal mustard begins with brown mustard seeds (Brassica juncea), cultivated using sustainable practices. This variety, celebrated for its robust and refined flavours, undergoes meticulous steps:

• Optimal harvesting: Between July and August, when the seeds reach peak maturity.
• Careful soaking: A balanced mix of vinegar and Sauvignon Blanc wine from Val de Loire.
• Stone grinding: This traditional method preserves the natural aromas and ensures a smooth or coarse texture, depending on the recipe.

This process produces mustards with authentic flavours that are worlds apart from standardised industrial products.
