Maille® Mustard is on sale for a limited time at Whole Foods Market so now is a great time to grab yours for all your holiday recipes!

If you’re planning to make some charcuterie boards in the upcoming months, you could grab a few jars of the Maille® Mustard and stick them in your pantry so you have them on hand to make the mustard cheese sauce and any other holiday recipes.
The savings at Whole Foods Market is good on both the Maille Traditional Dijon Mustard, 7.5 oz. and the Maille Whole Grain Dijon Mustard, 7.3 oz. I used Traditional Dijon Mustard in this recipe, but if you have other uses for the Whole Grain Dijon Mustard you could grab that too!
