Ruthie 17 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Hi! New here. On day 4. Made mayo tonight with evoo. It's okay. Not really liking the taste and I know it's because of the oil. Anyone have an oil suggestion? Link to post Share on other sites
Susan W 3553 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Yes. Bertolli extra light taste is perfect. Link to post Share on other sites
the_wendy_house 40 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Seconded! When I ran out of bertolli and subbed in a quarter cup of evoo mine fell to pieces. The light bertolli is excellent though. Link to post Share on other sites
missmary 5242 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 avocado oil and macadamia nut oil are nice. I typically mix light olive oil+mac nut. Link to post Share on other sites
HealingWithin 67 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I use extra light olive oil and it tastes delish. Extra virgin tastes pretty gross. I have never tried the avocado oil or macadamia oil but surely want to try as I go through about two batches per week! Link to post Share on other sites
TriciaLo14 36 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I read somewhere that the cheaper the olive oil, the better it is for mayo. Personally I hate the extra virgintaste in the mayo, but that's my preference! Link to post Share on other sites
Delaine Ross 407 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I tried to use bacon grease once. NOT recommended. Link to post Share on other sites
Michele West 98 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I agree the Bertolli Extra Light is the best...but it's also the only one I've ever used based on the recommendations here;) Link to post Share on other sites
1Maryann 1314 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Any light will do, IMHO. EVOO is much too strong tasting. I've been playing with the mayo because mine comes out thinner and runnier than I'd like sometimes. I think I've decided that half light olive oil and half coconut oil works best. No olive-y taste, and it thickens a bit in the fridge because of the coconut oil. Don't ever use all coconut oil. I hear it turns solid in the fridge. Link to post Share on other sites
Ruthie 17 Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Thanks everyone! I made some last night and it was the perfect thickness. Reminds me of the days of buying it in a jar. Except the taste was too strong. Although I must say I was craving deviled eggs and it wasn't as noticeable in yolk mixture. Fixed my craving and I made my first batch of mayo to boot! Now I just need to get a proper work out routine going... Link to post Share on other sites
Michaela Elmore Cogswell 79 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I've heard a lot of good things about avocado and macademia nut. Planning to pick some up to try out tomorrow. I agree you want Light or Extra Light olive oil for mayo.... it really loose the stronger flavor that Extra virgin has. Oh and coconut oil turns solid at 76 degrees, so, yeah, it would solidify in the fridge, for sure. Link to post Share on other sites
