Light Mayonnaise 400g

Very tasty mayonnaise, and it isn't overly thick or sickly, but adds just enough flavour to make it delicious.

This mayonnaise tastes excellent, and it's perfect for sandwiches, making sauces, and general cooking use to thicken and add a bit of flavour. I highly recommend it if you like mayonnaise and want to lose weight while still enjoying great flavours.

Smashed AGAIN. This seller keeps posting glass jars in a 1mm thick plastic bag so they smash. Product great, seller packaging terrible.

Love helmanns mayo and a really good price too.

In light of our New Year's resolutions for a healthier lifestyle, my wife and I decided to cut on our calories. When she came across this "lighter than light" mayonnaise, we thought it was worth a try. The price was excellent — 12 jars of 400ml mayo at a great deal, delivered right to our doorstep. However, the taste didn't quite live up to our expectations. I couldn't figure out what the taste of these mayo reminds me, until I checked the ingredients (specifically cornstarch,rapeseed oil and milk) it struck me that it resembled more of a bechamel sauce than mayo. After trying it again, the taste indeed leaned towards bechamel. Don't get me wrong; I love bechamel in my lasagna. While it might not be our preferred mayo, we've found an alternative use for it — as a bechamel substitute in our lasagna. That way, it still serves a purpose in our kitchen. Maybe someone will like it as a mayo but my personal preference in my taste perhaps is different than everyone else's.

This is the first time that I have bought mayonnaise for many years as I have mostly given up eating processed foods with lots of additives. Ironically, light versions, promoted as being the healthy option, often have more additives than the full fat versions. However, there are some things I miss these days, notably egg and tuna mayonnaise, so I decided to give this Hellmann's Lighter Than Light mayonnaise a go. I have to say that it's not bad: nice and creamy, and without the nasty chemical taste that I remember from light mayonnaise of the past. I applaud that it has no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives, is suitable for vegetarians (I'm actually a pescatarian), and is made with free-range eggs and responsibly sourced oils. It's also good to see Hellmann's promoting the fight against food waste, encouraging us to use mayonnaise to use up leftovers, and that this Lighter product comes in jars which can be easily recycled. What's more, the lid popped off my jar very easily - always a relief now I've got to the age where jars can be quite a challenge to open! My only reservation about this mayonnaise is that I find it too sweet. Along with artificial additives, I also avoid processed foods with sugar or too much salt, and I couldn't help noticing that sugar appears before egg in the list of ingredients for this mayonnaise! Please reduce the sugar, Hellmann's - or better still, take it out altogether!

if you're watching your calories this is a good substitute, I mix in a little chilli sauce and use as a salad dressing

One of my jars of mayonnaise was totally smashed though the box was intact.
