Ever wondered where mayonnaise originated from? Believe or not, mayonnaise originally comes from Spain. To be more specific, this recipe comes from Mahón, in Menorca.
But let’s be fair. It was probably created by the French army after they conquered the port of San Felipe de Mahón in 1756. It is said that they tried the Ali-Oli sauce, also from there, and weren’t fans of the strong garlic flavor. So they removed the garlic from the recipe, and that’s how they got this mayonnaise recipe.
So, you are right to say that it’s not really a Spanish invention, but it does come from Spain.
In this mayonnaise recipe we’re going to include an egg. If you prefer not to use eggs, you can take a look at our lactonnaise recipe.
