Introduction
Mayonnaise is a kitchen classic — creamy, versatile, and the base for countless dressings, dips, and spreads. But not all mayonnaise is created equal. By making it at home with extra virgin olive oil, you get a healthier, more flavorful version packed with antioxidants and heart-healthy fats.
At Titin Evoo, we believe every dish deserves the richness and depth of high-quality olive oil. This Olive Oil Mayonnaise Recipe is quick, foolproof, and elevates your sandwiches, salads, or grilled vegetables with a Mediterranean touch.
Why Make Mayonnaise with Olive Oil?
-
Healthier alternative – Unlike seed oils, extra virgin olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fats and antioxidants.
-
Better flavor – Titin Evoo adds fruity, peppery, and slightly nutty notes that make your mayo stand out.
-
No additives – Fresh, homemade mayonnaise has no preservatives or artificial stabilizers.
-
Versatility – Use it as a base for aioli, tartar sauce, Caesar dressing, or as a dip for roasted potatoes.
Olive Oil Mayonnaise Recipe
Ingredients (serves about 1 cup)
-
1 large egg yolk (room temperature)
-
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
-
1 teaspoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
-
1 cup Titin Evoo extra virgin olive oil
-
½ teaspoon sea salt (adjust to taste)
-
Optional: a dash of white vinegar for extra tang
Instructions
-
Prepare your bowl – In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, mustard, and lemon juice until smooth.
-
Add the olive oil slowly – Begin adding Titin Evoo in a slow, steady stream while whisking constantly. Start drop by drop until the mixture thickens and emulsifies.
-
Keep whisking – Once the base is stable, continue adding olive oil gradually, whisking until all is incorporated and the mayonnaise is thick and creamy.
-
Season to taste – Stir in sea salt, and adjust acidity with extra lemon juice or vinegar if desired.
-
Store properly – Transfer to a clean glass jar. Keep refrigerated for up to 5 days.
💡 Tip: For a faster method, you can use a hand blender. Place all ingredients in a tall jar, blend from the bottom up, and watch the mayonnaise emulsify in seconds.

Pro Tips for Perfect Olive Oil Mayonnaise
-
Always use room temperature ingredients — cold eggs can cause the mayo to split.
-
Choose a mild Titin Evoo if you prefer a lighter taste, or a robust one for bolder, peppery notes.
-
If your mayonnaise breaks, whisk a new egg yolk in a clean bowl and slowly add the broken mixture back in to rescue it.
