Birch Leaf Mayo

10m

A classic mayo with flavors from the forest.

Birch trees are known for their various uses, including culinary applications. The leaves of certain birch species can be consumed and have been used in traditional cuisines in different parts of the world. Birch leaves are often used to make herbal teas, infusions, or tinctures. They have a mild and slightly sweet flavor, with hints of wintergreen. The leaves can be harvested in the spring or summer, when they are young and tender.

This mayonnaise can be used in preparations that harmonize with herbal flavors, such as vegetables and fish.
