How to choose a quality mayonnaise: advice from Olkom technologists

Choosing mayonnaise is an extremely delicate matter. And every gourmet is familiar with hesitations: how useful is mayonnaise, what is in its composition and will it taste good with your favorite dish?

Olkom technologists reveal the secrets of what you should pay attention to when choosing a quality and useful mayonnaise:

1. Composition

First of all, you need to pay attention to the presence of eggs in any form (raw eggs, egg yolk, dry egg powder) and vegetable oil in the composition: without these ingredients it is impossible to make real mayonnaise.

2. Fat content

Unlike mayonnaise sauce, which can have a fat content of 15% and above, the fat content of real mayonnaise should not be lower than 50%, and traditional “Provencal” mayonnaises have a fat content of 67%.

3. Consistency

High-quality mayonnaise has a uniform dense texture without grains, air bubbles and liquid on the surface. Too thick a mayonnaise texture indicates a high starch content, too thin – a large amount of water.

4. Color

The color of mayonnaise depends on its composition. The possible palette is from white to creamy yellow. The main thing is that it is uniform.

5. Shelf life

The shorter the shelf life of mayonnaise, the fewer preservatives it contains. Olkom Kids Style 67% mayonnaise has a shelf life of only 50 days, which indicates its naturalness!

6. Packaging

When choosing a package, you should pay attention to its strength, convenience, the presence of the necessary labeling (including manufacturer data, composition and shelf life), as well as the amount (volume) of the product inside.
