Grey Poupon is a brand of Dijon mustard which originated in Dijon, France but today is sold primarily in the United States. The U.S. rights to the brand were acquired by the Heublein Company, later passing on to Kraft Foods. Grey Poupon became popular there in the late 1970s and 1980s as American tastes broadened from conventional American yellow mustards.
Like other Dijon mustards, Grey Poupon contains a small amount of white wine. It is made with brown mustard seed grown in Canada and wine from upstate New York produced under the supervision of a rabbi to ensure the product is kosher.
Famous quotes containing the word grey:
“Women should not weaken their cause by impracticable demands. Make no claim which could not be won in a reasonable time. Take one step at a time, get a good foothold in it and advance carefully.”
—Jane Grey Swisshelm (1815–1884)
