Making Mayonnaise at Home

Homemade mayonnaise is a breeze to prepare and offers a freshness that store-bought versions can't match. The key to a successful emulsion lies in the speed of blending and the gradual incorporation of oil. Using an immersion blender is ideal for achieving that smooth, creamy texture without the hassle of traditional methods.

Not only does making mayonnaise at home allow you to control the ingredients, but it also opens up a world of flavor possibilities. Experiment with different oils or add herbs and spices to customize your mayonnaise to suit your taste. The addition of truffle oil in this recipe adds a decadent touch that is sure to impress.

Storing Your Homemade Mayonnaise

Once you've whipped up a batch of Truffle Oil Luxe Homemade Mayonnaise, proper storage is essential to maintain its freshness. Store the mayonnaise in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it will keep for about one week. Always use clean utensils to scoop out the mayonnaise to avoid contamination.

If you find yourself with leftover mayonnaise, consider using it in various dishes throughout the week. It can be used as a creamy base for potato salads, pasta salads, or even as a unique topping for baked potatoes. With its rich flavor, you’ll find that a little goes a long way in enhancing your meals.
