How long is the shelf life of homemade mayo?

Safest bet is one week in the fridge. But I've kept using it upwards of 2-3 weeks after making it--in the rare occasion that I don't finish it within a week. Also, I'm comfortable relying on the sniff test in general for food spoilage.

We do mayo at home all the time (together with its Catalan variety, allioli: the "lazy" one that contains an egg). We store it in the fridge for no longer than two days. Also, it takes like one minute to make a fresh one, why keep?

I label it with the date on the eggs and it is usually gone long before that.

 

If I don't eat my mayo in a few days, I turn it into salad dressing with more vinegar and herbs. (Penzey's Green Goddes blend is good.) Then it's gone in a couple more days.

 

If I'm using regular store eggs, I'll pastuerize them first, but probably not necessary.
