"real" mayo, chock full of seed oil like all the other ones

F right off, we're pretty much at the point of needing to make our own mayo, pesto, humus etc at home to avoid seed oils

The best oils to make mayo with are the very ones you think you need to avoid.

Seed oil is used in real mayo? It's real mayo as it uses eggs and 65% oil, lemon or vinegar. All of which Hellmans has. Plus it's not miracle whip or some other salad dressing.

Precisely, the best mayos are made with seed oils.

how would you even be able to judge seeing as the alternative essentially does not exist?

for the doubters, 19th century actual French chef original mayo recipes did NOT use seed oil:

There are alternative oils that can be used as long as taste isn't the highest priority.

or, you know, you can use olive oil which is what mayo was invented with in the first place ...

Olive oil is one of those I was alluding to.

far superior taste, hence your "taste not highest priority" quip is simply off base

seed oils are not used for taste, seed oils are used far and wide to cut costs, period

Avo oil, canola oil, coconut oil, peanut oil, sesame, flaxseed, sunflower, olive, walnut, corn, cottonseed and and.
There are many types of oils, oddly enough the best mayos would be made with mild ones, so avo, soybean, canola etc.

find me a readily available, mass produced, commercial mayo made with avo oil

it does not exist, would be an acceptable substitute for the original which is and always will be olive oil

If you like bitter sure, plus nut oils were used as well, not just olive oil. Plus yes seed oil is used for taste as its neutral
Plus the original has gelatin in it.

Olive oil is apparently magic.

Olive oil does not a good mayo make - the taste of it is overpowering.

NB: That's just my opinion having made a lot of mayo with a lot of different oils.

Only if you can get it to disappear.

fair enough, that does not change the fact though that every mayo on the shelf is made with canola or other "vegetable oil" not for taste, but purely to cut costs

I'd gladly try anything that is not one of those two, alas it does not exist unless you make it yourself
