We Tried Each Taste of Molly Baz’s New Mayo Model, A Evaluate

Within the least stunning improvement in meals influencer historical past, cookbook creator and YouTube star Molly Baz simply launched her very personal mayonnaise model referred to as Ayoh Meals. For anybody who’s accustomed to Baz’s curiosity in Caesar salads and brash flavors, it’s a transfer that makes complete sense.

Ayoh simply launched on-line this week with 4 flavors — authentic, scorching giardinayo, dill pickle mayo, and dijonnayo — and we acquired our fingers on all of them. Utilizing our extremely scientific testing methodology (dipping hen nuggets into little gloops of mayo on a plate), I attempted each single one among Baz’s new mayo choices. Right here’s the way it went.

First impressions

The bottles are cute! They’re top-down squeezy bottles with cheery, brightly coloured logos. The colour palette may be very Molly Baz, as are the flavors on supply. There’s somewhat separation of the oil within the mayo, but it surely resolved with a fast shake. The bottle’s opening is somewhat huge, so it’s superb for anybody who actually likes a number of mayo on their sandwich — anticipate large dollops, not neat little squiggles like from a bottle of Kewpie.

Authentic Mayo

I’m undecided precisely how that is “mayo with a POV,” however it’s fairly stable mayonnaise. It’s somewhat bit thinner and fewer congealed than a model like Hellmann’s or Duke’s, however properly eggy like Kewpie. There’s additionally a slight — and nice — vinegary chunk, which I’d anticipate from the assertive-flavor-obsessed Baz.

Scorching Giardinayo

Probably the most initially fascinating of the bunch, the recent giardinayo taste is orangey-red, and filled with pepper chunks. It’s somewhat spicier and fewer pickle-y than I anticipated, and consistency-wise, barely thicker than the unique mayo. Can be glorious on a cold-cut sandwich, however I don’t know what else I’d use it for.

Dill Pickle Mayo

In some way, this mayo manages to finely stroll the road between “dill” and “pickle.” It’s equal components herby and vinegary, and tastes lots like tartar sauce, minus the onion. I’m somewhat shocked by how contemporary and brilliant it tastes, and whereas pickle fans would possibly recognize extra pickle taste, it looks like a extremely nice selection for a fried fish sandwich. And even simply a simple option to make your weekday tuna salad lunch somewhat extra fascinating.

Dijonnayo

At first I used to be somewhat aggravated that dijonnaise was one among Baz’s selections — appears somewhat primary. However this unfold is blended with each cornichons and complete grain mustard, which makes it properly punchy. There might be somewhat extra dijon taste, certain, and the cornichon bits might be extra considerable, but it surely’s a fairly stable dijonnaise that additionally has the good thing about solely dirtying one spoon.

The decision

General, these are stable sandwich sauces. At $10 per bottle, I don’t know that I’d exit of my option to inventory my pantry with basic Ayoh, however the flavored mayos are a enjoyable little change-up should you’re caught in a sandwich rut. The dill pickle and scorching giardinayo stand out among the many relaxation, if solely as a result of these are somewhat extra labor-intensive to recreate in your individual kitchen than merely stirring collectively some dijon and mayo.
