The Effective Trick To Keep Your Mayonnaise Fresh For Longer.

How to

1. Take the ingredients out of the refrigerator in advance.

2. Put the egg yolk in a bowl.

3. Mix it with salt, pepper and a teaspoon of vinegar.

4. Or add a little lemon juice if desired.

5. Add the mustard and mix.

6. Drizzle the oil, beating the ingredients.

Result

Et voilà, you can now keep your homemade mayonnaise longer :-)

You can keep it for a week. Beyond that, it is at your own risk even if I have already done so!

Why it works

Vinegar and lemon help lower the pH. The acidity of vinegar and lemon helps destroy bacteria. Industrial mayonnaises use this stuff.

After preparing your mayonnaise, leave it at room temperature for a few hours before putting it in the fridge.

On the other hand, if it is very hot, do not leave your mayonnaise outside the fridge.

Obviously, vinegar and lemon will change the flavor of your mayonnaise.

You can adjust the amount of vinegar or lemon so that the taste is not too strong.

But you can also camouflage this acidity by using olive oil or other special oils by adding herbs and aromatics.
