Nice consistency but agree with strong olive oil flavor. Will do 1/2 canola and 1/2 olive oil next time. Added a little white pepper too. Like that the ingredient list so basic and super easy to do.

Love this recipe, including the strong olive oil flavor - very different and so much more flavorful than standard white mayonnaise. You can also add 1 clove of garlic, finely grated, to make an awesome lemon aioli.

This recipe came together easily, the emulsion thickening as advertised. End product has a strong olive oil taste*, but nice and firm. *Used a strong tasting olive oil, will try a much milder one next time. Nice to have mayo without any sugar!
