The Birth of a Kitchen Staple
Our avocado oil mayo journey began when we decided to transition to organic and clean eating. We knew it was time to part ways with traditional store-bought mayonnaise brands. However, the price of pre-made avocado mayo was a deal-breaker. So, we embarked on a mission to create our own, and the results were not only healthier but also budget-friendly. Homemade avocado oil mayo is now a staple in our family’s kitchen.
Storage and Sustainability
The beauty of this homemade mayo is that you can store it in the same jar you made it in, with its lid, right in your refrigerator. It’ll keep for up to a week, making it a convenient and sustainable choice.
