Aioli

Aioli, a creamy garlic-flavoured sauce or dip, has deep roots in Mediterranean cuisine. Its history can be traced back to ancient Rome, where it was known as ‘alium’ (garlic) and ‘oleum’ (oil). The modern name ‘aioli’ comes from the Provencal words for garlic (‘ail’) and oil (‘òli’). Traditional aioli consists of just garlic, olive oil, and salt, but variations may include egg yolks for creaminess. It remains a beloved condiment and dip throughout the Mediterranean region
