Like mayonnaise, aioli is an emulsion or suspension of small globules of oil and oil-soluble compounds in water and water-soluble compounds. In Spain, purists believe that the absence of egg distinguishes aioli from mayonnaise, but that is not the case in France and other countries, where cooks may use egg or egg yolk as an emulsifier. Using only garlic as an emulsifier requires that the cook thoroughly crush it and add oil drop by drop so excess oil does not “cut” the aioli.

Since the late 1980s, many people have called all flavored mayonnaises aioli. Flavorings include saffron and chili.[7] Purists insist that flavored mayonnaise can contain garlic, but true aioli contains no seasoning other than garlic.[
