mayonnaise means: It is the foundation of all cold oil and oil-emulsified sauces. The commercial versions use inferior oils, and can be too thick to use properly. Handmade versions have a subtle, rich flavor and a silky texture. Always use an olive oil that is neutral or good quality. Extra-virgin olive oils will have a strong flavor that is not suitable for everyday use. (in Cooking Dictionary)
