Olive Oil Aioli

Olive oil aioli

To make aioli from olive oil alone will create a very strong-flavoured aioli, as olive oil can be quite an overpowering flavour. To avoid this, I’ve used a blend of olive oil and macadamia oil. Macadamia oil adds a lovely thick creamy flavour to this aioli — one I haven’t been able to achieve from using any other oils. Making aioli is a relatively simple process, but it does require patience. If you rush this recipe it will result in an aioli that isn’t deliciously thick.
