All of my life the only mayonnaise I’ve ever used is Hellmann’s mayonnaise. I know there are other products on the market similar to Hellmann’s, but none can compared to Hellmann’s mayonnaise. My mom always used Hellmann’s and that is the brand I’ve always used too. I never thought I would try another mayonnaise and enjoy it – until now.
Hellmann’s Mayonnaise Dressing with Olive Oil offers you the same delicious, creamy taste you love with the yummy goodness of olive oil. Juse like other versions of Hellmann’s mayonnaise it is made with high-quality ingredients including olive oil, cage-free eggs and vinegar.
I always cook with Olive Oil. I was curious to see how different this mayonnaise tasted compared to the classic Hellmann’s mayonnaise.
I tried the mayonnaise with Olive Oil dressing on several things that I normally made with the classic version including ham & Swiss on rye bread (sandwich), pasta/macaroni salad and potato salad.
I didn’t notice much of a difference in taste when I used it on the sandwich. I did notice a bit of difference when I used the Olive Oil mayonnaise on the salads. There was a slight difference in the taste. It was still good, just different. The potato salad was fine but with the pasta/macaroni salad I felt like I had to add a tad bit more spices for some reason (garlic pepper).
You can taste the Olive Oil in this mayonnaise, but it’s a subtle taste, not an overbearing one.
I haven’t had the chance to try it out with any chicken recipes yet but I am planning on doing so, especially Parmesan Crusted Chicken.

I too love using Mayonnaise with olive oil as a healthy alternative. Most of the time, I use mayonnaise only on sandwiches and not in my cooking so I’m going to try the Parmesan Crusted Chicken. I also like knowing that Hellmann’s uses only quality ingredients so I am picking up some today. Thanks for sharing your honest opinions on your recipes—I know using mayonnaise with olive oil changes the taste somewhat—but I enjoy knowing that it is healthier for me—and I have gotten use to the taste too:)

Thanks for the heads up on the sweeps and I love their olive oil mayo, but I can’t always find it in my stores.
