Hellmann's Extra Heavy Real Mayonnaise Jar, 1 Gallon (128 Fl Oz) | Gluten Free, 100% Cage Free Eggs, Vegetarian, Rich Texture, Superior Binding & Browning, for Dips, Dressings & Bound Salads

I thought that Hellmann's had ceased making this and was surprised to find this industrial sized jar. For a boomer like myself, this has brought back all the flavor of my youth by improving every recipe calling for mayo that I have. It's like all the aunts and grandma are in the kitchen working their magic! I even ground up spiced ham with pickle and mayo for sandwiches again. Glad I stumbled across this but I'm not telling my family why everything is tasting better this summer.

You don't think that the 'extra heavy' mayo makes that much of a difference until you try it. Makes summer pasta salads creamier and less watery. Good investment for the summer. I decant it into smaller mason jars to make storage easier.

This is a big container of mayonnaise. The plastic jar seals great and it arrived fresh. This is not an oily mayonnaise it is made from egg yolks, it is savory, versatile, and excellent. If you have the space in your refrigerator this will save you money. Use on sandwiches, add to salads, soups, add to macaroni & cheese instead of butter, make dipping sauces, and it has a nice aroma not a sour unpleasant one. Buy it you will love it.

It's tasty better then the regular real hellmen's. Only problem is it expires in 2 months. I can go through 2 squeeze bottles in 2 months at best so wish it didn't come with such a close expiration date. Took awhile almost a year of watching it to decide to buy it since I wanted to try it but again could of been longer to expire. The tag was also pretty beat up definitely old stock unfortunately. Was hoping to save some money going this route but surely a lot will go to waste.

Wouldn't be without my Hellmann's!

Updating my original review: Originally gave this 5 stars on our history with the Hellman’s brand. But now that we’ve opened the jar I need to update my original review. #1: unless you’re using this in a restaurant or other setting where you can quickly use this, don’t buy it. I received it on May 9th and the expiration date is June 25th. #2 : there’s literally nothing “Extra Heavy” about this mayonnaise. The consistency of it is more cheap no brand mayo. #3 : it was oily and separated. #4 : the taste was a long ways away from Hellman’s #5 : we will just stick with buying our Hellman’s Mayo from the store. We’ve never had any issues that way. We have been loyal Hellman’s Mayo users forever! No other mayo brand has the taste or consistency of Hellman’s. And this giant jar will surely be gone in a heartbeat.

It tastes good and fresh, but was a little too easy to use; I'm using too much. The size is super, the flavor is outstanding, and I'm going to use the barrel for something cause it doesn't leak. I was running an experiment, and so bought this along with a gal of ranch dressing. Both are primarily soy oil. After not eating soy oil for two years, and only half way through these two products, my entire musculature has started aching severely during most of the day, especially while laying down/not moving.

This is THE most delicious mayo you'll ever taste!! So much better than the stuff sold in grocery stores!!!!!!
