A French mustard and pickle company. Founded in 1747, it is famous for its Dijon mustard and cornichon. The company traces its roots to Antoine Claude Maille. In 1720 Maille developed new forms of vinegar to help stop the ongoing plague engulfing the south of France. Maille set up a shop in Paris in 1747 and in 1769 became the official vinegar supplier and distiller of the King of France. Maille is currently a subsidiary of Unilever.
