Mayonnaise with olive oil – that works
If you make mayonnaise yourself, you will find neutral oil as an ingredient in most recipes.
- Sunflower or rapeseed oil is usually recommended. These neutral oils give the mayonnaise a mild flavor.
- If you prefer a slightly stronger aroma, you can also use olive oil to prepare mayo.
- However, not every olive oil is equally suitable. There are many flavors of olive oil, depending on the type of olive used.
- Olive oil can be mild, fruity or tart, or sometimes taste like herbs. The tart version is not suitable for making mayonnaise. This would make the mayo taste bitter.
- So when choosing the olive oil for the mayonnaise, make sure that it is a mild variety.
- If you only have tart olive oil at home, it is best to prepare your mayonnaise with neutral oil. At the very end, add just a dash of your olive oil for that special taste.
