About Aioli

Aioli is a garlic emulsion sauce, commonly made with egg yolk and oil. It is served as a condiment or accompaniment for vegetables, seafood, meat, sandwiches, potatoes, and other savoury foods. It can also be stirred into dishes or used as a dip and finishing sauce.

Garlic gives aioli its defining pungent, savoury flavour, while oil and egg yolk provide richness and a creamy body. The texture is usually smooth, spreadable, and spoonable. Garlic intensity and thickness vary with the recipe, and lemon juice or other seasonings may add brightness.

Aioli is sold ready-made in jars or tubs and can also be prepared by whisking or blending its ingredients into an emulsion. It is usually pale and creamy, with finely minced or visible garlic in some versions. Added liquid loosens it; solids make it thicker or more textured.

Per 100 g edible portion. ANSES Ciqual 2025; energy and protein follow EU Regulation 1169/2011 (protein = nitrogen × 6.25); carbohydrate excludes fibre. Values describe this food form, not every brand or recipe. Reused under the Etalab Open Licence 2.0: https://www.etalab.gouv.fr/licence-ouverte-open-licence/.

Portions & preparation

Use the prepared sauce as served, distinguishing egg-based emulsion from garlic-flavored mayonnaise or other substitutes. The edible portion is the sauce itself, including oil, egg, garlic, acid, salt, and optional flavorings. Brand, recipe, and serving amount matter because formulations and accompaniments vary.

Compare the right form: Match prepared garlic emulsion with its actual oil, egg or substitute, and flavorings; mayonnaise-style products and recipe sauces are not interchangeable.

Diet considerations

Traditional aioli is plant-and-animal derived when made with oil, garlic, and egg, while some versions use egg-free substitutes. Compatibility changes with dairy, fish, herbs, mustard, or other additions, and with the bread, coating, or dish it accompanies. Packaged aioli requires brand-specific review.
