I was excited to try out Hellmann's Organic Mayonnaise since we really like Hellmann's Light Mayonnaise. We use mayonnaise regularly in sandwiches and when making Tuna Salad. When I gave Hellmann's Organic Mayonnaise a taste, I found it to be too salty for our liking. We try to limit the amount of fat we consume and this mayonnaise had a large amount of fat when compared to the Light version.

I made a Chicken Salad Sandwich with the Hellmann's Organic Mayyonaise for my boys' lunch. They really enjoyed it. I tried it but the flavour was not for me.

Although I thought the mayonnaise was good quality, I wouldn't purchase this as there is a large amount of fat and I prefer the taste of the light version.

I'll admit I don't usually buy mayonnaise since I was never really sure what was in it and eat a very clean diet and I was pleasantly surprised to reed the ingredient list on hellmann's organic....everything i could pronounce and eat! Flavour wise this was exactly what I expected mayo to taste like and although the colour was a bit different (due to not using added colour!) no one in our house was aware of the switch! I will be buying this on a regular basis as our standard mayo!
Thanks for the opportunity to give it a try!

Mayonnaise is one of those things that can make or break a recipe. Hellmann's regular mayonnaise is a staple in many a household, and it's a hard one to replace--why fix it if it ain't broken?

But then something comes along that makes you wonder if you should go ahead and fix that thing after all. This was the case with Hellmann's Organic Mayonnaise.

Let's start by being slightly superficial: how adorable is the label! Love it.

Now I don't know enough about organic versus non-organic, but if organic is better, then almost every ingredient that made it into this product is organic (except--haha--for the water and the seasoning.)

The texture is incredibly creamy. I found it a lot easier to "manipulate" this version of mayonnaise--i.e. spread it, dip in it, mix it in, etc.

The taste has more depth than the original version. The egginess particularly comes out, as does the lemon.

As I got this product free in exchange for an honest review, I don't know how much it retails for. The only concern I would have is the size of the jar which, at 443mL, doesn't stand a chance in a mayonnaise-loving household. Other than that, if the health benefits of organic are what they say they are, and if the price of the organic version of this staple is not that much more than that of the original, this is a purchase well worth making.
