Elevate Your Mayo Game with Essential Oils

Mayonnaise is a staple in many kitchens, serving as a versatile spread, dip, and base for various sauces like tartar sauce and remoulade. While delicious on its own, did you know you can turn regular store-bought mayonnaise into a gourmet condiment with just a few drops of essential oils?

A Unique Twist on a Classic Condiment

In many parts of the world, mayonnaise is a go-to sauce for French fries, sandwiches, and seafood. In Germany, for example, it’s common to enjoy fries with mayonnaise instead of ketchup—or even both! But why settle for plain mayo when you can enhance it with bold, herbaceous flavors?

Using essential oils from Dr. Hermann’s Essentials, you can create custom-flavored mayonnaise that complements everything from smoked trout to roasted vegetables.

The Perfect Essential Oils for Mayonnaise

Here are some of the best essential oils to use for making gourmet mayonnaise:

• Lemon – Bright and citrusy, perfect for seafood and salads.
• Rosemary – Earthy and aromatic, great for meats and roasted vegetables.
• Sage – Rich and slightly peppery, pairs well with hearty dishes.
• Basil – Fresh and herbaceous, ideal for Mediterranean-inspired flavors.
• Immortelle – Subtle and floral, a unique addition for complex flavors.
• Thyme – Warm and savory, an excellent match for poultry and roasted dishes.
