Aioli is a fragrant garlic sauce that comes from Arab cuisine. Its history spans centuries as it was originally made as a simple yet flavorful sauce for Mediterranean dishes. The classic version consists of just three ingredients: garlic, olive oil, and salt. Aioli has a thick, velvety texture and a strong garlic flavor that perfectly complements fish, seafood, meat, and fresh bread. It not only adds richness to dishes but also highlights their natural flavor nuances. This sauce is an essential part of the traditional cuisine of southern regions and is often used as a dip for appetizers. Simple to prepare yet rich in deep flavor capable of transforming any dish.
