Fresh department: Mayonnaise earns Label Rouge status for the first time
Mayonnaise has just been awarded Label Rouge status following publication of its approval order by the French Ministry of Agriculture and Food Sovereignty and the French Ministry of the Economy, on November 4, 2022. It is the first sauce to be awarded the Label Rouge, its superior quality having been demonstrated by sensory analyses, in comparison with a "standard" mayonnaise usually encountered in the same marketing market, the fresh section.
.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.
