Recipe View Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. The aïoli is best served immediately or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for no more than a few hours.

For an even smoother Aïoli, consider using a blender or food processor. Gradually drizzle the olive oil into the egg yolk and garlic mixture while the machine is running.
Infuse your Aïoli with additional flavors by adding a pinch of saffron, a dash of cayenne pepper, or a handful of fresh herbs such as parsley or basil.
The quality of the olive oil is paramount to the success of this recipe. Choose an extra virgin olive oil with a robust flavor profile that complements the other ingredients.
Freshness is key. Consume the Aïoli within a few hours of making it for the best flavor and texture.
If your Aïoli breaks, add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard or another egg yolk to help stabilize it.
