In a food processor or blender, combine the black olives, egg yolk, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and garlic. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
With the food processor or blender running on low speed, slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil in a thin, steady stream. This will emulsify the mayonnaise and create a thick, creamy texture.
Once all the olive oil has been incorporated and the mixture is thickened, stop the processor and scrape down the sides if needed.
Taste the mayonnaise and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your liking. Blend briefly to combine.
Transfer the black olive mayonnaise to a clean jar or airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve as a spread for sandwiches, a dip for vegetables, or a flavorful addition to salads or grilled meats.
