#mayo #mayonnaise #fermentedfood

[@LifingOutLoud]

My husband is a French trained chef. He said that heavy mayonnaise is made with the yolk only...also known as aioli. When you add the egg white it is then called light mayonnaise. It is because the egg white acts as an emulsifier and traps air in the blend giving it a stiffer, lighter result. Light mayo is better for making remoulades as minces and chiffonads will stay suspended in the mixture and not sink or collapse the mayo. Regular mayo/aioli is better for richer and only do well with dry or fresh chiffonade herbs. Minces tend to bring too much liquid breaking it down.

I love homemade mayo and have noticed that when I turn my leftover mayo into Caesar with fresh grated parmesan that it lasts a LONG time. My guess is that the cultures in the cheese function as an inoculant. I keep water kefir brewing on the counter at all times to add to all my stuff pretty much and add a tablespoon to every ferment. Also, mustard is an emulsifier so if your mayonnaise breaks, adding another spoonful of any mustard-even dry-will help it along very fast.

Just thought I would advise everyone to follow the amounts of the brine and lemon juice carefully. The lemon juice and the active good bacteria in the brine or whey are important to keep the product from developing botulism while sitting out several hours. Concern with storing garlic in oil is that garlic is a low-acid vegetable, which makes it ideal for culturing Clostridium botulinum, the bacteria that causes botulism. As long as the bacterium is exposed to oxygen, it cannot develop the spores which secrete the toxin, so garlic itself is perfectly safe. However, when garlic is placed in oil or fat, an anaerobic environment is created, and if the bacteria is present, it can cause botulism in anyone who consumes the product. Thanks for your safe recipe that I am going to try.

[@itsshepherd5618]

Would it be better/safer to add the garlic *after* the mayonnaise mixture has fermented on the counter, immediately before putting the container in the refrigerator?

[@emilye709]

Very odd idea, considering garlic is a very potent antibacterial.

[@terrythedad7240]

I’m curious/confused about this cuz Lebanese toum is a STRONG garlic mayo and it lasts a long time in the fridge. It’s basically garlic, oil, bit of lemon juice, salt and maybe a touch of water to make it more fluffy.

[@electricwheelchair]

Thanks for that comment. I was just wondering if the mayonnaise would be acidic enough to keep the spores from turning into the bacteria.

[@Kali08012]

Ok, I have used infused garlic oil for colds and when my child was too young for other remedies. It is topical, I’m curious now whether or not that is safe.

I also wanted to add that if you want a higher yolk to white ratio, use duck eggs. They work wonders in cake / ice cream recipes! I bet they would be great here.

[@TheDarrenO]

I got introduced to duck eggs in Cambodia when I was living there. I prefer them over chicken eggs for eating, baking, and general recipes that require eggs.

Duck egg has a very high amount of salmonella bacterium.

[@justin3594]

Just use 1 whole egg and one yolk, or just straight yolks if you want to play with the white to yolk ratio. But I’m sure a duck egg would make a nice mayo. Maybe want to kick up the vinegar more to kill any bacteria.

[@laureld.7056]

I raise both chicken and ducks. We only use duck eggs for baked goods. Fresh out the coop, duck eggs are dirty. The shell is thinner than a chicken eggs. Doesn't have the same bloom as a chicken egg. Higher chance of salmonella. I don't know if I'd feel comfortable eating raw duck egg

Aloha y'all, I've been making immersion blender mayo for years and years, and never had a batch go bad. Of course, I make smaller batches(a cup of oil) so it's never around long enough to go bad. I use a cold egg, safflower oil, tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, juice of 1/2 to a whole lime, salt to taste. I reserve the acid liquids until after I have emulsified the oil/egg. Takes 5 minutes in total. I put right into the fridge and it keeps until I finish the jar. Cheers!

It wasn't until the price of store-bought mayo got so high that I began wanting to make my own. As you said though, only small batches at a time~ so how wonderful is this for us big batchers. I'm super excited...& so grateful, THANK YOU for sharing this with us dear woman~ Yay!🎈

[@KingJames1981]

This method is way healthier if you use olive vs soybean oil like most of the store bought uses. They're known GMO's and saturated with Monsanto's glyphosate (roundup). I just made my first batch right now, and luckily I had a can of saurkraut in my cupboard so I used some of that juice to ferment this mayo and hopefully it will last a while.

[@bevjane7245]

Terrific to add fermentation to your mayo recipe. THANK YOU. I normally buy 15 ounce container of mayo made with 100% pure Avocado oil which lasts me about one month, very tasty but it is expensive. If I made my own (without the fermentation), most of it would get wasted, so I am thrilled to learn your method! The only thing I don't care for is your choice of grapeseed oil as it is not a healthy fat due to high Omega 6 (inflammatory). For your own health, consider cold pressed pure oil with high Omega 3, such as avocado oil, macadamia nut oil or evoo ..

[@crungefactory]

Yes, good point re oils

[@dkhnguess]

@Bev Jane What brand of good Avocado oil or Macadamia oil do you use?

[@eckankar7756]

Good point. I question about the quality of avocado oil after reading so much about olive oil being being substituted with lesser oils but sold as olive oil. Impossible to find affordable healthy oils to use in place of the bad processed inflammatory oils we've used for ages. I do use olive oil but hate the taste of it. Another thing this woman did is add fresh garlic and herbs. Proven fact that botulism can grow in the anaerobic environment of spores encased in oil as it's now the perfect breeding ground to produce toxins. Is there any lab studies that have determined adding fermentation product to oil and raw egg is truly 'safe for months' as this woman is claiming? Three BIG red flags from this tutorial. I hope she's not caused any health challenge to viewers watching this video.

[@voluntaryismistheanswer]

The linoleic acid coating arteries like linseed oil in whitewash adhering to brick is my reason to avoid seed oils (and sadly grapeseed is high on the list content-wise), but inflammation is also important to avoid.

I am so glad to have found these instructions. I've made mayo once. But I didn't want to continue as it goes bad to quickly for us. We do use more in the warm months. After watching a lot of videos and reading a lot of comments, this is what I did. I used 2 egg yolks, 2 tsps brown mustard and I didn't have enough whey brine from my plain yogurt, so I used what I had and the rest I used the brine from store bought sauerkraut. 2 Tbsps. in all. (I tasted no taste of the sauerkraut). I blended that on high in my food processor. Then, I added 1 1/4 cup of bacon grease very slowly for the first 30 seconds until the mayo started to form, and then you can pour more quickly. I'm glad I found out that I don't have to store the bacon grease in the fridge. I'm going to have to eat a lot more bacon. lol Then I added my 1/2 tsp. of salt, 2 1/2 tsps of lemon juice, and a little fresh pepper. Chef Ramsey said in his video to add the salt at the end because it will break down the egg yolks. Now, I wanted to try this homesteading family version and leave it out to ferment, but my eggs were not fresh farm eggs, nor were they pasteurized eggs. So in the fridge it went. The lemon juice cut the flavor of the bacon grease significantly. I may try a blend of bacon grease and another oil next time just to see if I like it better. I'm looking for a very neutral taste. But this is going to be great for bacon ranch dressing! Thank you for sharing your fermenting technique.

I should probably start adding whey again just to be on the safe side. 😅 Also it's good to know you can use basically any brine! I had only heard of using whey from yogurt up until this video. 🙌

[@lesliecastle6791]

I am super happy to know that there are others that don’t use store bought Mayo for the exact reason of having soy oil. I was having major problems with inflammation. Removing soy bean oil and changing to filler free multi vitamin and an all natural anti-inflammatory that is filler free, I have been essentially pain free. Long story short, I avoid Soy as much as possible. If I have it, my inflammation goes up. I’m also interested in having a food allergy test completed.

[@pineappledeedee1705]

@@lesliecastle6791 yes! It's I have too much soy oil or soy protein it give me a terrible headache and messes with my cycle so bad. I avoid it at all costs as well.

[@sherrydowns4052]

Hard to find mayo without soy period. I know the struggle.

Can you use sauerkraut juice?

Have you seen how canola oil is made? Horrific process. It never crosses my lips anymore at home.

[@t-rozbenouameur5304]

Might as well.just buy grocery store mayonnaise

[@Buffatestuff]

@@t-rozbenouameur5304 Nah, use good healthy oils not seed oils: Avocado, MCT, Macadamia, etc.

[@t-rozbenouameur5304]

@@Buffatestuff that's exactly the point

[@ravonhart4932]

I agree. I would never use grape seed oil. It is a overly processed seed oil manufactured in a petroleum plant, and is very destructive to our endocrine system and brain. Try using animal fat like ghee, duck fat, or beef tallow instead.

This is the best mayonaise I have ever eaten, and or made, I have had several attempts that tasted awful...I just recently found your channel and I'm so thrilled ❤ God bless you...I have chickens and can finally eat salads and egg yum again 😋

[@HomesteadingFamily]

Sounds great!

[@jilllundgren1320]

Thanks so much for the recipe! It's only me that eats mayo so I never tried making my own because of the shelf life. I just made some and it is now sitting out for its 6 hours. I happened to be fermenting sauerkraut so the timing was perfect! What I have tasted so far is yummy. I do not yet have an immersion blender so I used my Vitamix, which worked well. Again, THANK-YOU Carolyn!

[@bgueberdenteich5206]

I tried to make mayo in my vitamix, it never thickened, added extra egg-yolk-did not work. So I made a delicious salad dressing .

[@SamanthaBellerson]

me too. how about apple cider vinegar with the mother?

Never tried fermented mayo, excited to try. Do you make your own mustard? I've been wanting to try it. That and ketchup...if our tomatoes ever come in. It's been a rough growing season, extremely hot & dry

[@teller007]

Peppercorns also are great in it and I have used apple cider vinegar. And the immersion blender is a must have for easy mayo.

[@eyeswideopen5517]

Teller, do you use apple cider vinegar instead of the brine?

[@dew9568]

I was wondering if raw apple cider vinegar would work as the fermented addition. Why not? It’s from fermented apples.

[@HomesteadingFamily]

Vinegar is a different type of ferment… I’m not saying it WONT work, but rather that I’m not sure that it would work.

[@teller007]

@@HomesteadingFamily Thanks. Was curious if it would last with ACV. We use it up so quickly. I am definitely going to try your method.

[@loreleikring5188]

Just so happens that I have something fermenting deliciously in a jar right now for the first time in years, but the possibility that mayo could be good fermented never would have occurred to me on my own. I love homemade mayo (with whole eggs here, too) but don't make it as often as I'd like, mostly for the same reasons given in this video. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll have to try it as soon as I can get a fresh egg from a local farmer outside of town. (I miss having chickens around. Backyard hens are legal in my Wisconsin city--or were, last I heard--but...well, filthy stinking rich landlords here don't have to accept that fact, of course.)

[@haydenhiat7948]

I can relate with the landlord thoughts, and if people can't have chickens, you know our world is entering the Twilight crazy zone dimension

[@CarbageMan]

Very cool home tech! I've been buying Chosen Foods avocado oil mayo. I might try this, as I always have raw sauerkraut in the fridge. I'm thinking I'd pasteurize the egg, though. I've done that in a water bath before adding to separated mayo and re-blending.

[@yatesland]

I always pasturize my eggs too...I just feel better knowing I can keep it longer.

[@isabelladavis1363]

Will have to give this a try…best wishes I’m thinking baby is already here and all are well and blessed…

Being a Southern Gal, I always have a jar of bacon drippings by the stove. I use those bacon drippings as my oil in my homemade mayo. Sooo delicious! Would your fermented mayo work the same with bacon drippings?

[@donnagarcia4541]

Great on the bacon drippings!! I look forward to hearing an answer to your question. If it will ferment then I will be trying bacon drippings!! 👍❤️

Can't wait to hear the answer to this!!!

[@jem6205]

I have used my farmhouse cheese whey and it works for over 3 weeks in the fridge... I havent been able to keep the bacon/garlic/onion longer because it goes great on a BLT with a Bloody Mary in the hot summer afternoon. Also, you can make a ranch style dipping sauce out of it. So bacon products, even those made from bacon grease, dont last long in my house.

[@carrierichardson6619]

Yum!!!

[@cbishop7777]

I use raw apple cider vinegar in my mayo. I've never had a batch go bad and I make a whole quart at a time for just two of us. I've had a batch in my fridge as long as two months. I've never let it set out on the counter. Just heard about that today.

[@carriewojnar]

Same. Homemade mayo will last in the fridge as long as the egg used would have been good. Been making homemade mayo for years. It's all we use. Sometimes we use it quickly, sometimes it takes a month or 2 to use it up. Never a problem!
