personnes
- 3 egg yolks
- Juice and zest of 1 orange
- 1 c. à café mustard
- 25 cl Languedoc olive oil PDO

Tip
Choose an PDO Languedoc olive oil (subtle flavour) for its prominent notes of almond and tomato. Or choose another olive oil with a subtle flavour: PDO olive oil from Nyons, PDO olive oil from Nice, or a French olive oil of the Amellau, Cailletier, Grossane, Lucques, Négrette, Tanche, Verdale from the Bouches-du-Rhône…
Instructions
Grate the orange zest, then squeeze out the juice. Whisk the egg yolks with the orange juice, mustard, salt and pepper. Then gradually drizzle in the Languedoc olive oil PDO until the mayonnaise reaches the right consistency. Stir in the orange zest.
- Perfect with grilled fish, beef or chicken!
- Please note: you can replace the orange with grapefruit or a lemon (either yellow or green).
