"Mayonnaise is an emulsion, known for its difficulty to achieve stability. Costco's attempt to launch a Kirkland Signature mayonnaise was halted due to this challenge."
"Costco's team tried to innovate by adding omega-3s to their mayonnaise, but the change resulted in a less stable emulsion, ultimately leading to the product's abandonment."
The article discusses the inherent challenges of creating mayonnaise, an emulsion notoriously difficult to stabilize. It highlights Costco's attempt to produce a new mayonnaise under their Kirkland brand, which was abandoned due to difficulties in maintaining emulsion stability while attempting to introduce healthier omega-3 ingredients. This situation is contrasted with the humorous portrayal of emulsions in pop culture, particularly a scene from the film "The Menu,") illustrating the complexities of gourmet food preparation that even chefs face.
