Founded in Dijon in 1919 by mustard maker Armand Bizouard, Amora became, under the leadership of Raymond Sachot in the 1930s, one of France’s leading brands of mustard and condiments.
According to legend, its name originated from a remark by Bizouard: “It’s a love of mustard—it’ll be AMORA!”
The brand enjoyed immense success, in particular, thanks to its famous reusable mustard jars—which doubled as tableware—revolutionizing the way mustard was marketed.
