About Aoli
Aioli is a traditional Mediterranean condiment originating from Provence, France, and Catalonia, Spain. Made with garlic, olive oil, and egg yolks, it is similar to mayonnaise but with a bold garlic flavor. It is commonly used as a dip, spread, or sauce in Mediterranean cuisines. Nutritionally, aioli is dense in calories and fat due to its oil base, providing approximately 666 calories, 67 grams of fat, and negligible protein and carbs per 100 grams. It contains small amounts of calcium (13 mg) and iron (0.67 mg) but lacks significant amounts of vitamin C, D, or fiber. While rich in healthy monounsaturated fats (from olive oil), it is a calorie-dense food that should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
Health Benefits
