Pommery mustard in Vancouver?

Anyone know of a retailer in Vancouver or elsewhere in the Lower Mainland that carries Pommery mustard by Meaux? It comes in a pottery crock. I see it is available online, but it would be nice to be able to purchase locally.

    Thanks for the suggestions. Looks like Stong's is the best possibility. I've checked with Meinhardt's, Gourmet Warehouse, and Bosa, and none of them say they carry it.

      i'd be interested to know what you enjoy about it -- maybe it is a family tradition or otherwise. I have no opinion, simply curious to learn more --- hope the quest is successful.

      ps... i recall years ago, dutch friends would bring back those little crocks with wire-fastened lids - to us in vcvr --- wonder if what you're looking for is similar. maybe it was from duty-free in europe so it could have been from any country in those 70's days

        It has a sharp, peppery-spicy taste and a great texture and aesthetic. There are a lot of great mustards out there that fit this description, but this one, as I understand it, is a classic. It does well in sauces or just served with crusty bread and cheese. Plus it has a great container for displaying. My husband introduced me to it. He used to buy it at Superstore many years ago. We have a super-old jar at home that really needs replacing!
        I saw the thread about the Clovis mustard. It sounds good too!

      I'm pretty sure Stong's Market on Dunbar has it.

        there was a question a bit ago about another mustard ... Clovis - i wonder if any of the answers there could give you some help with your question -- the answer was Bosa out on Boundary and Lougheed area.

          Off the top of my head I'd bet that Meinhardt's or Gourmet Warehouse would be locks for it.
