Store the aioli in a sealed jar with a lid. You can keep aioli in the refrigerator for about a week, well covered. You can freeze aioli in a closed jar without any problem. Always stir before use and possibly refresh with a few drops of lemon juice.

Which oil is best to use for homemade aioli?

For this specific recipe, I'm opting for corn oil (or another neutral vegetable oil). Why? Because a heavy extra virgin olive oil quickly becomes too bitter when blended at high speed with an immersion blender. Do you still want that typical olive flavor? Then, at the end, manually stir in a small dash of good olive oil into your fresh aioli.

How long can I store the fresh aioli?

Because we are working with a raw egg yolk, it's best to store the aioli well-covered in the refrigerator and eat it within 2 to 3 days. But honestly? Usually, that bowl is already licked clean to the last drop after a fun tapas night with friends!

What can I serve with fresh aioli?

Aioli pairs perfectly with tapas, toasted bread, or calamari.

How do you make aioli so deliciously creamy in just 5 minutes?

My absolute secret weapon is the stick blender! By putting all the ingredients - including the egg yolk, lemon, and plenty of garlic - in a tall measuring cup, you create the perfect emulsion. Place the blender firmly on the bottom, turn it on, and slowly pull it upwards. You'll see the sauce transform before your eyes into an amazingly thick, creamy dip.
