What Is The Difference Between Mayonnaise And Aioli?
Mayonnaise, loosely defined, is an emulsion
of neutral-flavored oil like canola, egg yolk, vinegar and/or lemon
juice and sometimes a dash of powdered mustard to bring out the flavor
and help the emulsion stay together. Aioli, on the other hand, hails
from the southern French region of Provence, and begins not in a blender
but with a mortar and pestle and several cloves of garlic. When the
garlic is pounded to a paste, it's whisked into the traditional
preparation of egg yolk, lemon juice, mustard and olive oil instead of
canola (which adds olive oil's fruity aroma into the mix).
