Maison Bornibus Horseradish (Raifort)

Sale price£6.20
Maison Bornibus, France 250g

Horseradish carries the same volatile, mustard-oil heat found in mustard and wasabi — a sharpness that rises through the nose rather than burning the tongue, and one that fades quickly with cooking, which is why it is used cold or stirred in at the end. A close botanical cousin of both.

Prepared Horseradish
Maison Bornibus Horseradish (Raifort) Sale price£6.20

Prepared horseradish — the grated root smoothed with vinegar, a little sugar and rapeseed oil into a hot, peppery condiment, sharp enough to clear the sinuses. There's no cream here, so the heat is direct rather than softened. Serve it with roast beef, smoked and oily fish, boiled beef and cold cuts, fold it through crème fraîche for a milder sauce, or stir it into mashed potato, beetroot or a Bloody Mary. Keep refrigerated once opened.

Producer Maison Bornibus traces back to Alexandre Bornibus, who took over a mustard works near the Halles in Paris in the 1850s and built one of the most celebrated condiment names in nineteenth-century France — admired by Alexandre Dumas, who wrote of it in his Grand Dictionnaire de cuisine. The house still carries his name across a range of mustards, sauces and condiments.
