Believe it or not making your own mayonnaise is quick & easy! We strongly recommend using a good quality food processor. If you do not have a food processor you can use a good quality blender. Did you know that there is a hole in the food processor for making mayonnaise?

In order to make great tasting mayonnaise, you need to use the best organic ingredients! In our recipe we use real olive oil Unfortunately the majority of olive oil sold in the United States is not real olive oil! It is usually a combination of oils with a tiny amount of olive oil added in. Why this is legal is beyond us. Real olive oil has a distinct bite & aroma. Once you experience real olive oil you will never buy counterfeit olive oil again!
Mayonnaise also requires the use of raw eggs. Don't panic! Raw eggs are not as bad as the media would have you think. For those of you born in the 1970's or earlier, do you remember eating raw cookie dough or cake batter? Did you ever get sick? Yea, we didn't get sick either. The problem with today's eggs is not the fault of the eggs but the fault of how they are produced. Hens are overcrowded, the eggs they lay fall onto layers of poultry litter (a nice way of saying chicken poop) where they are stepped on by chickens whose feet have poop on them. Many chickens die & the eggs are in contact with the carcases as well. This is the scenario for "cage free" eggs. Chickens in battery cages suffer much worse but the eggs are probably a tiny bit cleaner due to the fact that they roll across a wire floor where the collect in a tray on the outside of the cage. Still the chicken factory is a filthy ammonia reeking mess. So what is a person to do? Simple! Buy fresh organic eggs from your local farmer! Check out the farm & see how they raise & collect the eggs. Salmonella rarely ever occurs in farm fresh eggs. In factory farming you can guarantee your eggs will make you sick if you do not cook them.
