Product Specifications and Features

• Signature Tangy Profile: Features a distinctive zesty sharpness that differentiates it from standard creamy mayonnaises, designed to enhance bland ingredients and cut through rich fats.
• High Oil Content: Contains a minimum of 52% vegetable oil, providing a stable, thick consistency that holds its shape and does not split when mixed into salads.
• Real Egg Inclusion: Formulated with genuine egg to create a traditional, smooth emulsion that spreads easily on soft breads without tearing.
• Award-Winning Heritage: Consistently voted a top-tier mayonnaise brand in South Africa, representing a trusted recipe with over a century of local brand history.
• Recyclable Glass Packaging: Supplied in a 750g glass jar with a secure metal seal, which is 100% recyclable and maintains product purity better than plastic alternatives.
• Binding Properties: Acts as an effective emulsifier and binder, ensuring that dressings cling to pasta and vegetables for more consistent flavour distribution.

Ideal Use

• Traditional Potato Salad: The primary choice for the classic South African potato salad, where the high acidity balances starchy potatoes and rich boiled eggs.
• Creamy Dipping Sauce: Easily combined with garlic, condensed milk, or herbs to create quick homemade dips for crudités, chips, or braai snacks.
• Marinade Base: Enhances the savoury profile of grilled meats by adding a creamy, acidic contrast that helps tenderise proteins before cooking.

Safety and Storage Precautions

• Temperature Management: Store unopened jars in a cool, dry pantry; once the seal is broken, the product must be refrigerated to maintain chemical stability.
• Hygienic Scooping: Always use a clean, dry utensil; introducing food particles or moisture from used cutlery can lead to rapid bacterial spoilage.
• Shelf Life Guidelines: For optimal flavour and texture, consume within one month of opening, even if the official "Best Before" date has not been reached.
• Allergen Information: Contains egg and soya; produced in environments that may handle cow's milk, requiring caution for those with severe dietary sensitivities.
