Mayonnaise is one of the most popular and versatile emulsified sauces in world cuisine. Its origin dates back to the 18th century when, according to various theories, it was created in the French city of Mahón, from which its name derives in many regions. In Latin America, this condiment is mainly known as "mayonnaise," although in countries like Mexico and Peru, the base of this sauce is used to prepare different variants and is incorporated into numerous traditional dishes. Furthermore, in some countries, its preparation and names may vary slightly due to local culinary influences, but its essence as a creamy and rich sauce always remains.
This dressing has transcended borders and is a basic ally in daily gastronomy, from salads to sandwiches. Homemade mayonnaise is distinguished by its freshness and more intense flavor compared to the processed versions sold in stores, making it the preferred choice for many cooks and lovers of traditional cuisine.
