#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.

[@fishnlady]

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.

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.

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!

There is a lot of disagreement about the health of these, but I think the main issue is that some vegetable oils have high omega-6 to omega-3 ratios, which makes them inflammatory. That usually means avoid corn and soy oils, and other cereal crop oils. I’m not as convinced that grapeseed oil is unhealthy just because it’s not saturated fat, but I’m open to more information.

My mayonnaise lasts as long as I don’t eat it ; ) ; ). I use lemon juice and Whole Apple Cider Vinegar with the Mother. By the Way who wants their mayonnaise to taste ‘store bought’? Certainly not me…that’s why I make my own, and no unnatural preservatives or nasty canola oil. I always leave it out of the fridge after I’ve made it to fully infuse the flavours and allow the ferment from the ‘mothered’ ACV to ferment. I agree with another commenter: Dijon Mustard is the best (homemade of course 😉😉) Yolks only - no egg white. One yolk incorporates 100-150 gms Oil. I use 2-3, and make Friands with the whites, which keep well in a small glass jar and can also be frozen until such time as you are ready to utilise 😊. Thank you 🙏 for your video, and for your advice for those who are unaware of the negative oils, on some that would be good choices 😊😊

[@fesupsedoris]

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'd like some additional examples of what could be used as a fermentation starter : )

[@SamanthaBellerson]

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

[@laylayalda9465]

I was thinking the same! I don't know what to use for fermentation 🤔

[@missymama268]

Me too! Would buttermilk do the job?

[@neurocosm]

@@missymama268 I would imagine it could possibly.

[@vickiemiller4227]

How about dill pickle juice? I love pickles...so I think it would give it a tart taste which I like

[@RedSapphires]

Thanks so much. I was getting ready to make some, and I was hoping for a solution to make it last, so I could make a large jar of it. This is perfect.

[@peach9704]

Love your kitchen. Thx for the recipe.

[@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 .

[@yourstruly9448]

💫 Oh my what an awesome tip‼️ I too found much of my homemade mayo often wasted because with only my hubby and me in the home these days we just couldn't go through a full cup each week. Hallelujah for fermentation!! 🥰👍 Thanks Carolyn !!! You've just saved us lots of pricey oil $!! And have added much to our gut health journey. ❣️❣️❣️

Thanks for the tip! I have been making my own mayo for a while but this will be a huge help. Also just watched your raw-pack chicken video and gave it a try. Sad to say, I had never cut up a whole chicken before, so I actually learned two new skills. Oh, and it was the first time I had ever used a pressure canner! Thank you sharing your knowledge and making it seem easy.

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!! 👍❤️

[@farmerandadeleacres2726]

[@christinaoliveryoung6019]

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]

[@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.

[@teller007]

@@eyeswideopen5517 I have used ACV to make but have always placed it immediately in fridge and it is eaten within the week because it is so yummy. I will try this method as stated and ACV at same time and compare perhaps.

This video had me making mayonnaise. I was turned off by the good for 7 days but adding the fermented liquid to extend the time has been gold. And it tastes much better than store bought

@@dkhnguess it is so good even my annoying picky son likes it. You definitely need an immersion blender and it comes together in less than 5 minutes. Adding the fermented liquid does not affect the flavor just like she said and it lasts.

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!

[@SAM57119]

Hi. I really appreciate your comment. Do you use the apple cider vinegar in place of where she used fresh lemon juice? Thank you.

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.

[@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

[@amypatterson3127]

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

I've been adding the whey from my homemade yogurt. It makes the homemade mayo last a great deal longer. At least now I understand why it works.

[@MM-oc3sb]

So glad you posted this! I was wondering if homemade yogurt whey would work... I usualy have just an alternate batch of sauerkraut or yogurt processing since it is only hubby n I these days. Lol, though, we love this Mayo so much it doesn't really last much longer than a week! Would love to have a couple of variations in the fridge next 😋
