The Allure of Milk and EVOO
While traditional mayonnaise calls for eggs and vegetable oil, the divine duo of milk and EVOO unlocks a unique and wholesome twist. Embracing this alternative method not only offers a dairy-infused delight but also caters to those with egg allergies or dietary preferences.
The combination brings together the creaminess of milk and the richness of EVOO, resulting in a velvety, luxurious spread that tantalizes the taste buds.

The purity of these ingredients will weave a seamless tapestry of flavors in your mayonnaise. You can make it vegan by taking soya milk or other vegan milk.
Step 2: The Magical Emulsion
The secret to creating mayonnaise lies in the art of emulsification. In a blender or food processor, pour 1 cup of whole milk. Slowly drizzle in 1 cup of Extra Virgin Olive Oil while the blender continues to run. The combination of the milk’s proteins and the EVOO’s natural emulsifiers will work their magic, creating a smooth and stable blend.
Step 3: A Symphony of Flavors
As the milk and EVOO embrace in perfect harmony, the magic unfolds with the addition of flavors. To enhance the taste, add a pinch of salt and a dash of white vinegar or lemon juice, maybe some mustard or a drizzle of our flavoured EVOO’s. These gentle notes will balance the richness of the EVOO and elevate the taste of your mayonnaise.
