What it is
This is a classic mayonnaise made with oil, egg yolks, and vinegar. It has a rich, creamy texture and a tangy flavor that makes it a versatile condiment. The oil provides a smooth mouthfeel, while the egg yolks act as an emulsifier, binding the ingredients together. The vinegar adds a bright, acidic note that balances the richness of the oil. It is a staple in many kitchens for its ability to enhance a wide range of dishes.
