I usually just get the cheap mayo, Nola or whatever. Everyone has been talking about Hellmann's. Great. Got a small one, Original it says, for R30. Why not?

First taste. Salt.
Texture. Puffy air like egg white.
Aftertaste. Slight mustard powdered egg with salty oil taste.


What is this salty rubbish?

Did I get expired Mayo? It says BB Sep 12 21.

Return, that definitely doesn’t sound like the Hellman’s we use. We only use Hellman’s. It must be off or something.

Sis, did you get the straight original? Hellmanns is unlike Nola/Cross & Blackwell which are closer to salad creams. It has a thicker texture and more umami and it is less tart.

If you have the original, try it on a spud - if you're not a believer after that then ok.

I'm gonna try it on boiled egg with some pepper.
 
Lol, well it looks alright. It does have a very different texture that’s for sure, but the saltiness shouldn’t be there unless you and I have a very different definition of salty lol.

It taste like salt. Its like someone that added sugar to an espresso or cappuccino. There ain't no mayo and bite.
 
They go for roughly double the price of our local mayo brands.
Tried it once when they had it quite cheap.
Was ok, doesn't justify the price.
