Etymology

The word 'aioli' comes from the Catalan and Provenรงal languages, which mean 'garlic' (ai) and 'oil' (oli). The sauce has its origins in the Mediterranean, particularly in regions such as Catalonia and Provence. Historically, aioli has been prepared using a mortar and pestle to crush garlic and slowly incorporate olive oil, creating a rich and creamy texture. Initially, this sauce was purely garlic and oil, but over time, the use of egg yolks became popularized, especially in modern cooking, leading to the creation of different variations. By the 20th century, aioli became widely recognized outside of its original regions, gaining popularity in culinary practices worldwide. Today, it is commonly found in gourmet dishes and is celebrated for its robust flavor and versatility.
