Truffle Mayo: How To Use Truffle Mayonnaise in Your Kitchen

What Is Truffle Mayonnaise?

If you've never had truffle mayonnaise, you could be wondering exactly what it is. 

Truffle mayonnaise is an emulsion of regular mayonnaise ingredients with elegant black truffles. The addition of truffle gives the mayonnaise a distinct luxurious taste and flavor that can enhance the  richness and distinction of many recipes.

What Are Truffles?

Before digging further into truffle mayonnaise, let's recap what truffles are and why they're such a delicacy. Truffles come from the mushroom family, and they are an edible fungus. They have a musky flavor which can add a feeling of decadence to whatever they are mixed with. 

One of the reasons truffles are considered a delicacy is because of the time it takes to grow them. Additionally, these edible fungi are seasonal, adding to their scarcity. 

In addition to truffle mayonnaise, many people enjoy truffle oil, truffle-infused pasta sauce, and truffle-infused hot sauce to enhance their meals. 

What Is in Mayonnaise?

If you don't have mayonnaise often, you may not be familiar with the ingredients. Typically, mayonnaise is made from egg yolks, oil, and an acidic ingredient such as lemon juice. It was invented in the 1700s by accident.

Adding black truffles to mayonnaise elevates this condiment. You'll want to have truffle mayonnaise in your pantry to create high-quality sandwiches and other meals.
