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

Within the least stunning improvement in meals influencer historical past, cookbook writer 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 whole sense.

Ayoh simply launched on-line this week with 4 flavors — unique, scorching giardinayo, dill pickle mayo, and dijonnayo — and we acquired our fingers on all of them. Utilizing our extremely scientific testing technique (dipping rooster nuggets into little gloops of mayo on a plate), I attempted each single one in all 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 could be very Molly Baz, as are the flavors on provide. There’s a little bit separation of the oil within the mayo, nevertheless it resolved with a fast shake. The bottle’s opening is a little bit vast, so it’s ideally suited for anybody who actually likes a whole lot of mayo on their sandwich — anticipate massive dollops, not neat little squiggles like from a bottle of Kewpie.

Authentic Mayo

I’m unsure precisely how that is “mayo with a POV,” however it’s fairly strong mayonnaise. It’s a little bit 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 full of pepper chunks. It’s a little bit spicier and fewer pickle-y than I anticipated, and consistency-wise, barely thicker than the unique mayo. Can be wonderful on a cold-cut sandwich, however I don’t know what else I’d use it for.

Dill Pickle Mayo

Someway, this mayo manages to finely stroll the road between “dill” and “pickle.” It’s equal elements herby and vinegary, and tastes rather a lot like tartar sauce, minus the onion. I’m a little bit stunned by how contemporary and shiny it tastes, and whereas pickle fans may admire extra pickle taste, it looks like a extremely nice selection for a fried fish sandwich. And even simply a straightforward approach to make your weekday tuna salad lunch a little bit extra fascinating.

Dijonnayo

At first I used to be a little bit irritated that dijonnaise was one in all Baz’s selections — appears a little bit primary. However this unfold is combined with each cornichons and entire grain mustard, which makes it properly punchy. There may very well be a little bit extra dijon taste, certain, and the cornichon bits may very well be extra ample, nevertheless it’s a reasonably strong dijonnaise that additionally has the good thing about solely dirtying one spoon.

The decision

General, these are strong sandwich sauces. At $10 per bottle, I don’t know that I’d exit of my approach to inventory my pantry with basic Ayoh, however the flavored mayos are a enjoyable little change-up for those who’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 a little bit extra labor-intensive to recreate in your individual kitchen than merely stirring collectively some dijon and mayo.
