A limited selection of ingredients, with no additives

Guaranteed to contain no preservatives, colorants, texturizers or sugar, this Label Rouge mayonnaise is made according to the traditional recipe, from a restricted list of ingredients selected according to quality criteria framed in the product's specifications:

neutral-tasting rapeseed oil, controlled to guarantee no rancidity throughout the mayonnaise's shelf life,
Label Rouge egg yolks affirming the free-range rearing of the hens, the selection of eggs and their processing by controlled operators,
Dijon mustard made exclusively from water, non-GMO mustard seeds, vinegar and salt, with no additives or flavoring,
white wine vinegar and lemon juice to add a touch of acidity to the mayonnaise, essential for good preservation,
condiments: salt and pepper

Manufactured with respect for the product and its original recipe

In order to guarantee a firm, consistent texture and long-lasting consistency in the absence of additives, this Label Rouge mayonnaise is whipped together using a whisk and the gradual incorporation of oil. Packaged in hermetically sealed jars within a short timeframe, it will be sold in the fresh section of supermarkets and specialist wholesalers, with a use-by date of 2 months.

Label Rouge mayonnaise, a gourmet accompaniment to other quality products

This mayonnaise will be perfect to accompany other products under official quality signs. For example: whelks from Granville Bay PGI, Label Rouge Penaeus monodon shrimps or Label Rouge cooked roast.
