Zaanse style mayonnaise
Zaanse Mayonnaise is a popular and distinctive sauce from the Netherlands, originating from the Zaanstreek region, known for its rich food history. The mayonnaise was developed by family-owned company Van Wijngaarden, which has been producing sauces since 1929. What makes Zaanse Mayonnaise unique is its mild, creamy flavor with a hint of acidity and a slightly sweet undertone. This makes it a perfect match for fries, snacks, and sandwiches. With its iconic yellow-and-white packaging and authentic taste, it has become one of the most beloved mayonnaises in the Netherlands, found in snack bars and home kitchens alike.
Recipe for Zaanse mayonaise (250 ml)
Ingredients
-
1 egg yolk (room temperature)
-
1 tbsp mustard (preferably Dutch or Dijon)
-
1 tbsp white vinegar
-
1 tbsp lemon juice
-
200 ml sunflower oil (or another neutral oil)
-
1 tsp sugar
-
1/2 tsp salt
-
1/2 tsp white pepper
Instructions
-
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, mustard, vinegar, and lemon juice until well combined.
-
While whisking continuously (or using a hand mixer), slowly drizzle in the oil. Start with a few drops at a time, then gradually pour in a thin stream. This ensures a thick and creamy texture.
-
Add the sugar, salt, and white pepper, and mix well. Adjust the seasoning if needed—Zaanse Mayo has a slightly sweet and tangy profile.
-
Transfer the mayonnaise to an airtight container and let it sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavors.
