Mustard loses its bite over time. People from the USA who try mustard in
France often are startled at how potent it is. Mustard which is made in
France and shipped to the USA often lacks that intensity because of the
time which elapses between when it was made and when it finally gets
consumed. So I wouldn't go out of my way to buy genuine French mustard
unless there was some way of knowing when it was jarred.
